Moynihan's insights draw from both professional experience and personal influence, reflecting on how formative moments shaped his approach. He values steady behavior under pressure, critical for leading successfully in challenging times.
Now, you may have every nervous energy behind you. [You] may wonder in the middle of the night what the heck is going on. But if you show that, and you let it eat at you, you can't give energy.
When you're in a situation of pressure, how do you give people energy? Well, being calm and showing them a way to do something as a team and as a group enables you to make progress.
