This article presumes that fear is a virtue and a healthy motivator. As FDR once said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." We want our leaders to be fearless, yet our bent culture uses fear as a lever to discuss and worry things that should be viewed as life and business concerns, and dealt with rationally, instead of calling those things fears, and dealing with them emotionally. I do not allow fear in my life or my companies as it diverts energy away from planning and action. Wallowing in fear is the domain of loosers.
