Another entry in Steve's axioms mini-series, this one built around a phrase his daughter brought home from kindergarten.
The episode covers why staying calm under frustration (in an airport line or in a leadership meeting) tends to produce better outcomes than losing your temper, and why bosses who berate their people are working against themselves.
For anyone who wants a simple, repeatable phrase for keeping composure under pressure instead of blowing up at the first sign of trouble.
