How I originally interpreted your question (it wasn't stated plainly) was: "How do I reconcile being a generally nice guy, having chronic anger in my life, and getting things done?" How would you ask of outsiders the question you are asking of yourself?
As my thoughts have articulated, I've come to ask a different question; one that I can actually bring up to someone else, so that they may answer it, not just allow me to get my own mind in gear.

What's so wrong with anger? Love, too, can drive one to great stupidity, so why must anger alone be so maligned, eh? I've felt love before--a little more of it in my life wouldn't hurt none, I tell you what --and I say that anger [Am I wrongly misplacing anger as the inverse of love? Ought I replace "love" with "joy?"] certainly has it's share of pleasure, too.

For the record, I'm more of the wrestling-type--actually did for a time, to great satisfaction. I haven't really built myself to throw a good punch (I'm physically slow and brutish, more suited to heavy labor), so boxing would just be painful.
