Pain ensues when you have two or more people/camps of people who Give A Shit but are in conflict with each other. Then often the organization just rips itself apart or collapses.

The tricky bit is how to empower people who Give A Shit while maintaining alignment.

Interesting, I'll make a note to keep my GAS levels around 80.

Seriously, I think the answer to this isn't about intensity of feeling (although 100% is never healthy for anything, ever).

It's about channelling the GAS into principles, tightening them up, and agreeing on what matters. Then putting that energy into being flexible about everything else.

Kinda agree. I like to raise GAS levels as high as possible but by balancing the fun, effort level and importance.
