“In all my years at work, I've never shouted or raised my voice at anyone – and I take quiet pride in that,” he wrote. “Of course, I've had moments of anger, disappointment, and frustration. But I've learned that losing your temper doesn't help. Staying calm doesn't mean you're unaffected. It means you're in control. Grace under pressure – that, to me, is the true mark of leadership.”
His post received praise from many users, who appreciated his calm and thoughtful approach to leadership. One user commented, “Affected but calm is a form of restraint in speech, but it does not constitute true calm. In contrast, not allowing oneself to be affected by circumstances by training one's mind to think is the essence of real calm.”
Another commented, "This resonates deeply. Keeping calm isn't about suppressing emotions; it's about choosing how to channel them. That distinction makes all the difference, especially when the pressure's on."
A third said, "This is undoubtedly an amazing quality. I hardly know anybody rich, successful and yet so calm. One needs a profound insight to realise that losing one's temper doesn't help. It's a gift. Rare gift at that."
A fourth added, "Absolutely agree, sir. True leadership is reflected not in loud voices but in calm composure during chaos. Maintaining grace under pressure earns far more respect than momentary outbursts ever could. Thank you for setting such an inspiring example."
