Passion is powerful, but unchecked it can derail leadership. Here’s my raw story of when I let passion turn into anger and what I learned.

If your business is stuck, the first place to look isn’t your team—it’s the mirror. Culture, performance, growth—it all rises and falls on leadership. Before blaming the market, the economy, or your employees, ask: What did I do (or not do) that led to this? Because your team isn’t following your rules—they’re following your example. And the business will never outgrow its leader.
