How often do you lose your temper?

Rarely. However, it's a good thing to lose―permanently. I've never lost my temper at work. At best, it's a waste of time and energy. At worst, it makes people uncomfortable and diminishes your effectiveness.

Even if you're completely right about something, losing your temper often destroys your ability to convince others that you are right. Venting anger is inappropriate in a business, team-oriented environment.
