Fear is not a workplace motivator. Many of us have had the sad occasion at one time or another to work for someone who was just plain mean. So mean that they took out all their insecurities and anger on their employees. If things went wrong for them watch out. If you are a leader with anger issues, get them under control by seeking to determine their root causes. Work to understand the importance of anger management in the workplace and learn to express all your emotions appropriately.
