Whenever there was a panic or something that required swift action, Saul would always sit back and wait. He would not jump into the fray before he was sure what exactly was going on - which led to the impression that he rarely made mistakes.
Indeed, it sounds like it lead to the reality that he made few mistakes. And that reality is a good reality. Being cool under pressure isn't a fake skill but a real skill. I suppose you could be so cool you don't do anything but not panicking is indeed something that honestly qualifies someone for management.
I know from hard life experience that a lot of situations that seem like they need immediate action, don't. And moreover, someone who can look at such an attention-demanding situation calmly is immensely valuable.
