During lockdown, I started reading - or more accurately listening on Scribd on my run - to David Herbert Donald's biography of Abraham Lincoln: Lincoln.
In Chapter 16, he describes Lincoln's fury at General Meade's failure to prevent General Lee's escape into Virginia.
Frustration fuelled the President's anger.
Modern CEOs and leaders will recognise these deeper feelings if they take time to pause, stay in the present moment mindfully, and to acknowledge that anger is a much shallower feeling than the deeper unheard inner screams of frustration.
