The role of emotion

There is a belief that to resolve tough problems, we need 'tough' approaches: mostly related to inappropriate use of emotion such as anger and criticism.

On the other hand, wisdom is equated to equanimity (and vice versa) and the suggested approach is that events be observed without reacting.

How can a sense of urgency be communicated with compassion and people be held accountable without resorting to negative or destructive emotions? Is there any such thing as inappropriate use of equanimity?

How much of this requires me to re-invent myself?
