Does emotional baggage ever intrude on your problem solving process?
Sometimes people bring up feelings that were deeply hidden yet growing. Sometimes unresolved conflict re-emerges creating sparks and noise in your attempts at collaboration.
It's easy to get excited about a problem. It's especially tempting when people seem to be making the problem worse. But does getting angry help? Does attaching yourself so tightly to the outcome that you burst help your situation?
Probably not.
Any problem is big enough without adding emotional baggage.
Why not drop the emotional baggage and focus on your goal?
