Nimitz has the innate qualities of an excellent commander. What is particularly commendable is that he can keep calm and calm under unfavorable conditions. Bill Ewing, one of Nimitz's officers, recalled: "When I first met Nimitz, he was standing on the second floor of the Pearl Harbor Institution Building. White-haired and peaceful, he looks like a retired banker rather than a leader who tried his best to pull the country out of an unprecedented predicament. But when he has to make a decisive decision, his eyes will shine with sudden anger and firm determination. "

Nimitz is also a person who is good at adjusting tension. If the atmosphere in the war room is suffocating, he will suggest that everyone play tennis or take a walk together to calm down first. He found that these practices can not only calm down the mood successfully, but also keep healthy.

Nimitz's infectious and inspiring sense of humor was quite effective throughout the difficult years of the war. He tells stories whenever he gets a chance. His friends all over the country know that he likes telling stories and have provided him with materials. These materials are as relaxing as cheerful music and games. As long as these stories are healthy and funny, Nimitz will adopt them regardless of their authenticity.

His jokes and one-liners make the long and lonely voyage at sea relaxed and happy, and also make the officers and men who meet the test in a dangerous environment refreshed and high-spirited.

Therefore, he is deeply welcomed and loved by officers and men at all levels in various units. Although he sometimes seems too approachable and loses the demeanor of a general, this does not damage his prestige at all, but makes people feel that he is amiable and respectable.
