Keep your calm in every situation
Do you remember when was the last time you saw MS Dhoni losing his marbles over a missed catch. Although his mind must be a maelstrom of ideas, options and possibilities; the exterior gives nothing away. All the while, you'll see him shifting the field around, reading the pitch, rotating his bowlers, or pulling off some lightening fast stumpings. On the outside, you won't even see him chew his nails. The ability to stay calm and keep his cool with a seemingly uncluttered mind is Dhoni's greatest gift as a leader.
As John Burroughs once said, "Temperament lies behind mood, and behind it lies the fate of a character. Temperament is Dhoni's Excalibur. This is what sets him apart."
This is a lesson for all leaders when they go out to manage extremely stressful work situations.
