Well, you and I both know that true character emerges during challenging times. So one of our students wants to know, what traits do you think distinguish the kinds of leaders who can successfully weather a crisis like we're currently going through?
It's a good question. I think optimism leaders need to be optimistic. You know, showing a lot of anxiety and things like that, you know, being pessimistic. I just think people don't want to follow that. And so I think not by choice. I'm just an optimistic person. So I think I looked at this challenge, and we set up very quickly offensive defensive measures in the company. We call that offense strategy, defense strategy, and how do we get through this? And thankfully, I'm surrounded by the best. So we just set out this path to say, how do we get through this? And, in fact, we may know be better off at the end of this than we were going in. And. And that wasn't by design, but it's sort of survive in advance. You know, just. Just stay in the ring. Stay in the ring. Don't go down, and good things can happen.
Yeah. I think, again, I think that having that. That mindset is just a reoccurring theme in this talk that we're having today. And then that mindset coupled with, you know, think creatively, the ability to focus, and the ability to execute really, really well. So I. I would agree.
