Setting Up

STAY LOOSE as a frame of mind is not just something that is there with no preparation. If you think about it you’ll see that you have to set up for it. You take a bizarre car chase with the cops hot on an idiot’s tail. If the cops want to STAY LOOSE while the chase is on what they would do is reinforce the left and right front quarters of their car. Sort of like a tank. Then any pit maneuver could be done without the least bit of worry about getting the car fixed and having it in the shop for a long time. Otherwise it’s el smasho for your own car if you’re a cop and now you’re out of a nice car for a while. When you’re chasing somebody it’s a good feeling you can only imagine since most of us don’t do this but you can imagine how good it would feel to know you can pit the fleeing idiot without so much as hurting your own car one little smidgeon. Maybe a scratch and that’s it. So the staying loose in the whole scenario requires preparation. Then you can relax on the job when extra-ordinary risks are put upon you by the retards among us. So in a nutshell, the LEADERSHIP philosophy of STAY LOOSE means that you have to bone up on it and work hard on that totally refreshing attitude that sees you always relaxed in the face of mind-numbing ridiculous circumstances.
