A person wrote, “This is undoubtedly an amazing quality. I hardly know anybody who is rich, successful and yet so calm. One needs a profound insight to realize that losing one’s temper doesn’t help. It’s a gift. Rare gift at that.” Another user wrote, “If you've been able to do this, hats off to you: a leader who calmly & quietly explains and supports his team especially during moments of failure is a rare gem.” A third comment read, “The loudest voice rarely fixes the problem. The calm one usually does and actually moves things forward.” A fourth user agreed, “Staying calm is the most appropriate way to deal with issues which are complex and explosive. A calm mind can resolve issues satisfactorily than a mind agitated. Calm mind is a strong mind. I am happy to know you have never shouted at anyone in your working life.”
