There’s a leadership maxim that often gets circulated among the Navy SEALS. It’s a piece of simple advice that helps them whenever they find themselves amid chaotic situations, even when they’re out there in the front line fighting a war. The mantra is: Calm is contagious.

If the person in charge is calm, then that calm infects others as well. This is essentially what an effective leader does — they become an embodiment of calm.

Calmness is strength. The only way to not make bad situations worse is to keep calm and carry on.
