What can we learn?

  1. Stay calm, no matter how pressurised your work, it can’t be as bad as this.
  2. Leadership requires calm, thoughtful decision making.
  3. Under pressure, make decisions based on facts not emotions.
  4. Your voice delivers the message and in some cases is as important as the words.
