John McTiernan tends to lead with his head over his heart, which helps him make clear-eyed decisions but can leave him emotionally detached when others need empathy. His mood is closely tied to whether he feels respected and on track with his goals — when those slip, low moods can creep in. Having a safe emotional outlet is important, because those feelings will surface whether he invites them or not.
