Two Jordans

“Calmness is the rarest quality in human life. It is the poise of a great nature in harmony with itself and its ideals.”
– William George Jordan

“The strongest leaders are not those who control the storm, but those who remain steady enough to steady others.
– Lee Brower

“Gratitude is the trim tab that turns calmness into influence.”
– Lee Brower

People don’t need leaders who can predict every storm. They need leaders who can remain steady when nobody else is. Imagine a spouse who remains steady during financial uncertainty. Imagine a parent who remains steady when a child is struggling. Imagine a CEO who remains steady when markets are volatile. Imagine a community leader who remains steady amid contention. Their calmness becomes contagious. Not because they have all the answers. Because they create enough calmness for others to think clearly.
