Be the Eye of the Storm

When situations get intense, people tense up. Either they panic or they bear down. Both responses diminish performance and credibility. Never panic bearing down. As a leader, you have to be the centre of calm. Your calm assuredness will not only increase your performance, it will also bring comfort and ease to those around you. So let the world swarm and swirl around you. Observe it with curiosity fascination, but don't let it swoop you up in its chaos. Learn to always be the eye of the storm. Use that as your montre.
