How do you handle the stress?

A while back I read an article that an airport in Mumbai did over 1,000 takeoffs and landings in 24 hours. That's over 40 planes in 1 hour. I get that it's stressful as heck, but how do people in those situations keep their cool?
 
Can't say I'm an expert in this field, but I think it comes down to runways, controllers and a team fo highly coordinated people. That's a lot of planes and making things right means it has to be a team effort. I hope some of the more experienced controllers can explain this better.
