Which is fine if you're dealing with issues that involve
absolutely no emotional content. Think about what you do the rest
(i.e. most) of the time - if you're a manager, do you think being
entirely unemotional is going to work with your staff? Think again.
And let's not even go near personal relationships on a daily
basis.
Fact of the matter is that human life revolves around and involves
so much emotion that if you're going to be foolish enough to try
and pretend it doesn't exist, you're going to send everything to a
grinding halt. Like it or not, when there's at least one person
involved, emotions work their way into the equation and have to be
addressed - failing to address them would in fact lead to a wrong
decision.
If I had a dollar for every person I've seen screw things up by
pretending they had no emotions, I'd be a gazillionaire by now.
Unfortunately, payment's only limited to my corporate clients.
