Louis Massaro argues that stress is not necessary to take action; instead, inspiration and a compelling purpose drive action. He acknowledges that a small amount of tension can prompt growth (helping people think bigger and develop capabilities), but emphasizes the need for a bridge from tension to productive action.
People to say stress is good. I'm not a believer of that. I don't think you need stress in your body feeling that in order to take action. I think you need to be inspired and you need to have a big reason why you're going after what you're going after. But I do know that this creates a little tension. And if there's no tension, like, why think bigger? Why develop capabilities, why take next level action? But all this is, you just need the bridge to get from there to there.
