## What Jamie wrote

What Norman describes is very true, and I don't think discussed very often.

> This is the beginning of leadership influence — to remain a non-anxious presence. Said another way, it’s to be non-reactive. A non-anxious, non-reactive person does not adjust their values, preferences or approach as a way of powering up, shutting down or avoiding responsibility. 

This is one of the reasons that I think meditation is so important for leaders.
