Why is “calm under pressure” the only soft skill that ever seems to matter? I’ve worked through 60-hour weeks, major crises, and complete leadership chaos. And I keep hearing, “You’re so composed!” as if my lack of public breakdowns is the only thing they value. I don’t want praise for surviving pressure, I want someone to fix the workload. When did stoicism become the only leadership trait that matters?

Because leadership doesn’t want to hear complaints. They don’t wanna hear how stressed out people are because it makes them feel like they’re disorganized and doing a bad job. They’d rather people just quietly take it.

That’s a solid soft skill
