Thereby, the business breaks or builds.
Not because of strategy.
Not because of market conditions.
But because of what walks through your door every day.
A special kind of fatigue seeps into a team when someone brings drama instead of discipline.
It’s invisible until it’s insidious.
It spreads like static—distracting, draining, disorienting.
You lose hours not in meetings, but in emotional clean-up.
You lose momentum not in the market, but in the morale.
You lose loyalty not from the outside, but from the inside.
High-drama team members confuse movement with progress.
They spark fires and expect applause for putting them out.
They say they’re passionate—but passion doesn’t exhaust people.
Passion energizes.
Real passion shows up early and stays late—not with resentment, but with resolve.
It builds culture through consistency, not chaos.
It creates clarity instead of conflict.
It whispers, “We’ve got this,” even when things break.
You don’t need everyone to be a firecracker.
You need people who build fireproof systems.
You don’t need louder voices.
You need clearer signals.
Drama-addicted team members think their feelings are facts.
Passionate team members know their values are verbs.
And here’s the punch:
Your business becomes what your team tolerates.
Protect the culture.
Curate the energy.
Be relentlessly allergic to drama and radically loyal to passion.
Because one fuels your mission.
The other feeds on it.
“Drama thrives where clarity dies. Passion thrives where purpose lives.” – Mike Brewer
