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

As the start of a new trilogy, this film is certainly a worthy successor to the previous set of films. But whilst there are nods to the notion of the long dead Caesar, there is certainly no need to have seen those films to understand the concept of what he stood for, and there is clearly the anticipation that new audiences can come into it with fresh eyes; just know that in this dystopian world, 300 years on, the apes are in charge and the humans are an endangered species. There are certainly some areas where a suspension of disbelief on the human characters may well be required, and there are some nice, retro easter eggs, but it has much to say about the way we currently live in the world, which is not, at the moment, a particularly harmonious one, and it leans into even a level of quite chilling semi-religiosity. The effects are breathtaking, as we have come to expect, and the authentic and realistic representation means that the ability of the ape characters to engage the audience emotionally is beyond any doubt.
