Sometimes believing is getting you have way there! Here are some #LeadLikeChampions leadership key principles derived from the german national team - the "Mannschaft": 1. Discipline and Consistency: Just like the disciplined approach of the German soccer team, leaders should emphasize consistency in actions and decisions to build trust and reliability. 2. Teamwork and Unity: The Mannschaft’s success underscores the power of teamwork. Leaders should foster collaboration and a sense of unity to achieve common goals. 3. Strategic Vision: The German team’s strategic play highlights the importance of planning. Leaders need to develop and communicate a clear vision and strategy. 4. Adaptability: The ability to adapt to different opponents and situations is crucial. Leaders should be flexible and open to change, adjusting strategies as needed. 5. Resilience: Overcoming setbacks is a hallmark of the Mannschaft. Leaders must cultivate resilience, encouraging their teams to persevere through challenges. 6. Skill Development: Continuous improvement is key. Leaders should invest in their team's professional growth and skill development. 7. Focus on Fundamentals: The German team excels at executing basic techniques flawlessly. Leaders should ensure that their teams master fundamental skills and processes. 8. Cultural Inclusivity: The Mannschaft benefits from a diverse player pool. Leaders should promote inclusivity and leverage diverse perspectives for innovation and growth. 9. Data-Driven Decisions: The use of analytics in soccer to enhance performance is akin to making data-driven decisions in leadership. Leaders should utilize data to inform their strategies. 10. Mental Toughness: The psychological strength of the German players in high-pressure situations is vital. Leaders should build mental toughness within their teams to handle stress and perform under pressure. The "Mannschaft" has been drawing from principle 5 a lot recently, so optimism is principle 11 to add for future competitions. #Leadership #Teamwork #Discipline #StrategicVision #Adaptability #Resilience #SkillDevelopment #CulturalInclusivity #DataDriven #MentalToughness #MannschaftLeadership #SoccerLeadership #WinningTogether #cdotimes

🎬✨ Hot Take Alert: The Irony of Oscar's Latest Snub ✨🎬 In an ironic twist straight out of a Hollywood script, the Oscars have made a glaring omission: "Barbie," the film that redefines cinematic norms, and its visionary director Greta Gerwig, have been snubbed. Meanwhile, Ken scores a nomination. Isn't this the very narrative that "Barbie" sought to challenge? The irony is almost poetic. "Barbie," a film that breaks boundaries and challenges stereotypes, particularly in its portrayal of female empowerment, is overlooked. And yet, Ken, a character symbolically representing traditional male roles, is celebrated. This isn't just a snub; it's a spotlight on the outdated mindset still prevalent in the industry. Greta Gerwig isn't just a director; she's a cinematic force. Her exclusion speaks volumes about the industry's slow pace in recognizing female talent behind the camera. The message? The real-world ‘Barbie’ saga is unfolding right before our eyes. My opinion of the Oscars was already lukewarm, but this? It's a clear indicator that they're trailing behind the times. Now, here's the real question: As Gen Z and younger generations begin to assert their influence, will institutions like the Oscars adapt, or will they be rendered obsolete by their refusal to evolve? Are we witnessing the last throes of an old guard, struggling to keep up with a rapidly changing world? In a time when cinema is becoming more inclusive and diverse, the Oscars' failure to recognize such a culturally significant film and its female director is not just a misstep; it's a missed opportunity to embrace progress. #OscarsSnub #BarbieMovie #GretaGerwig #CinemaEvolution #GenZTakeover

Many a times I have been asked why I bat for the underdog. Some of the world's most intriguing and inspiring success stories have been championed by folks that were never first in line or 'natural' successes at the outset. It has taken me years to hone my sights on 'What will succeed' 'What has immense promise' and I can safely say this is the biggest paradox of our times. Companies are able to attract talent but they still don't necessarily select the best. Why? Winners hide in plain sight. Recruiters, Employers: Look with new eyes.
