Negativity in the face of adversity exposes your lack of reliability

When you are in a sticky situation you don't have the time to reassure those around you that everything will be okay.

As a leader, you need to stay confident about the situation and use proper perspective.  Be prudent and positive.

One of the hardest things about leadership is discovering someone's lack of reliability/loyalty when faced with adversity.
