If you want to get to the moon, you need rocket fuel. Passion is powerful and like most powerful things, it can be dangerous. You can’t remember the last time you unabashedly fought for something with the willingness to be totally gutted if you didn’t get it.You color code an issue as “light green”’ because you can’t bear to show a yellow, let alone a red on your issue log (yup, I’ve seen it!).You have a dictionary of euphemisms and code words for delicate issues.You exert more effort making ideas palatable than making them good.You have never felt embarrassed or sheepish about your behavior A new book published by Imperial War Museums tells the story behind Britains famous 'Keep Calm' poster, which was designed in 1939 as a piece of war propaganda.You have never heard anyone in your team raise their voice.You utter the phrase “let’s take it offline” at least once per meeting.You use the term “agree to disagree” and then never speak of the issue again.You mentally check out when discussions get too heated.You relent on something you care about when a proposed answer is tolerable.You consistently censor your comments to avoid eliciting anger.You know you’re keeping it too safe when… You’ll never feel great.Īsk yourself if you’re keeping it too safe.

To achieve excellence, you have to push hard enough that occasionally you’ll go too far. And being all in means you sometimes lose yourself within the idea.

I know, you wish you could dispense with the bursts of anger and flashes of frustration that come with being highly engaged. A new book published by Imperial War Museums tells the story behind Britains famous 'Keep Calm' poster, which was designed in 1939 as a piece of war propaganda. Teams without passion don’t achieve high performance. To ensure that they never get angry, they can never allow themselves to get passionate. So why is their keep calm and carry on culture worrying us? Because to keep things calm, they have to stay emotionally detached. We enjoy their cooperation and camaraderie. Craig and I are working with a really nice team right now. The slogan Keep Calm and Carry On has been ubiquitous within newspaper headlines in 2017 as the UK careered from one crisis to another.
