Is that ability to compartmentalize to manage stress and also manage

your emotions in those very difficult ethical decisions, because youre trying to figure out you know what is the right action to take here, and that is something that weve become experts at over time is high risk decision making, because not only are we dealing with millions of dollars, but were also dealing in lives.
