“Every person who works for you, you have to let them go in the best possible moment. When he and you are at the happiest moment, when he and you think you are doing your best work, they have to go.

My team sat at the back of the room, the last of best.

As humans we have a full range of emotion and denying a large number of those emotions by labelling them “negative” can be destructive. We can’t always be happy. In fact when we try to remain exclusively in a happy state (ignoring any “negative feelings”) we go quickly into denial and it causes more stress and lower engagement scores at work
