In a high-pressure environment where the stakes are high and both risks and rewards are significant, emotions will inevitably run high. As long as everyone’s position is heard and there are no personal attacks, this emotional intensity can be healthy.
When individual, team, and organizational goals are aligned, it creates a win-win situation. In such cases, emotions can lead to a net positive outcome. However, when alignment is lacking, ongoing struggles arise. Anger and animosity may develop on both sides, affecting the entire team. In such scenarios, the better approach is to take a step back, reassess the organization’s goals, and part ways with those who do not align with the broader mission.
