Treat them with respect. A good leader will learn from others. Do not allow your ego stop you from seeking advice from people that have been there before you. Learn from their mistakes. Pressure and stress are two different animals.
Pressure makes a person more focused.
Stress robs you of it and harms your performance. Anyone can be great for a short time, but to be successful over the duration of your life, you must be persistent. The essence of persistence is not to quit. Take it out of your vocabulary. How you handle adversity is a sign of your maturity.
