The balance of Enthusiasm, Competence, and Passion has both nature and nurture components. How you balance and use / illustrate your Enthusiasm, Competence and Passion in work and how your work system is set-up to allow you to be enthusiastic, competent and passionate about what you do can be a struggle.
I was with a group of 8 managers. They hired me to coach and develop along with them what they called “techniques and systems to motivate their teams”.

Holy shit more of the same is not working…we need help! And help is what I do.
