There’s a great post over at Management-Issues, entitled Anger Doesn’t Pay, where we learn that:

“It involves training people to be aware of their thoughts and feelings and take control of their behaviour by basing their actions on values and goals rather than their internal events”

It’s a quick read. Check it out.
