"A great leader needs presence. The moment Baker Mayfield stepped on the field, the crowd lit up, and the team rose to a new level. I saw it for years at Oklahoma, and it’s happening now at Cleveland. “Presence” is the ability to energize your team just by being there. Browns wide receiver Antonio Callaway said, “That juice. That fire. He is always fired up. He gave us a spark.” I’ve seen it in other leaders during a crisis, where everyone else was in a panic – but as soon as the leader walked in the room, there was a collective calm. Everyone relaxed because of their confidence in the leader. Mayfield has that gift, and knows how to use it to motivate and inspire his team. It’s a rare and powerful gift and one that all leaders should cultivate." [
