As for the notion that we should “check our emotions at the door” when we come to work? Not going to happen – and that’s a good thing. People are emotional creatures, and that emotional response is a sign that change is happening.
It would be curious to extend the acceptance that we cannot be unemotional to the military. An idea of a soldier or a general driven by emotion should not sound risky or udesireable. Emotion is where we get courage and perseverance; it allows us to inspire others and to be inspired.
