Notes from this talk:
- Sustaining excellence:
- Optimism -- An innate predisposition that things will get better
- Individualization -- Ability to attract great talent. Knowing that each person has something unique to bring
- "You follow somebody if they give you confidence in the future."
- "The world will be better if I hitch my wagon to you."
- Great managers/leaders =
- They know how to surround themselves with the right people -- "If you want a great party, invite great people."
- They focus on people first
- They help them. They coach them. They find a path and set expectations.
- They grow. They make the next step and help others do the same.
- "Talent is more important than experience."
- Talent = a recurring pattern of thought. Enduring patterns in a person. Hire for those, then train for skills.
- How to find talented people?
- Ask open ended questions, stay quiet, believe what they say.
- Ask appetite questions: "What did you love most about that?"
- Talents are far more about natural appetite
- Feedback:
- "People need feedback to grow and excel. It grows best not with feedback, but with help."
- People grown when attention is given to them. "Pay attention to me. My talents." People need attention to what really works in them
- Leaders must look at the real world
- Idiosyncratic -- The best are...
- There is a difference between theory world and the real world
- "Learning is an emergent experience." It's inside out... How you do your version...
- How do you measure things that are hard to measure?
- "Must make a distinction between traits and states."
- Example of a trait = extroversion
- Example of a state = mood, skills (can change)
- Competencies are a combination of both
- "Must make a distinction between traits and states."
- Being labeled a "Hi-Po" (high potential) in an organization: "It's made up, not a thing. Toxic because it presumes that some human brains can't/won't grow."
- "There is no point in having the 'hi-po' conversation. In talent reviews, ask for each person... How will they grow best? Don't use a 9 box grid."
- "Replace potential for momentum."
- "Work life balance is a very weird aspiration. It's very hard to do it perfectly."
- "Balance is a way of being stationary. It's not a good way to move through life."
- "We shouldn't tell people to do this. Health is motion, finding love, finding red threads."
- "It draws you in. You should move through life. Draw strength from the movement."
- "If a leader has no followers, they're not a leader." -- "Follow-ship is the thing."
- "We all have fears for the future. Find a leader that can see around the corner, we're drawn to that."
- "Be a free thinking leader."
- Use the "Get To Know You Document"

World War II with Tom Hanks
By shows
For eighty years, the Second World War has remained the most devastating and defining conflict in human history. World War II with Tom Hanks reexamines the war through the lens of a new century. Told over twenty hours and guided by Tom Hanks, whose lifelong passion for this history has shaped some of the most profound screen portrayals of the era, the series captures the full arc of the war — from the rise of fascism in Europe to the fall of Berlin, from Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima, and the uneasy peace that follows. Each episode uncovers new dimensions of the conflict: the decisions that shaped the battlefield, the unseen networks that sustained the war effort, and the aftershocks that still shape our world today. World War II with Tom Hanks is the definitive retelling of that story for a new generation: a sweeping, deeply human portrait of how the modern world was forged in the fires of global war.

The Last 12 Weeks
By shows
In 1992, David Wood was convicted of murdering young women and girls and burying them in the desert outside El Paso, earning him the nickname the Desert Killer. More than 30 years later, his lawyers have one last chance to argue his innocence and stop his execution. “The Last 12 Weeks” follows a team of capital defense lawyers as they try to save their client’s life. The series, produced by Serial Productions and The New York Times in collaboration with The Marshall Project, focuses on the high stakes and at times bizarre work involved in trying to halt an execution. With an extraordinary level of access to a capital case in its final stretch, the longtime death penalty reporter Maurice Chammah takes listeners into the room with the lawyers as the clock ticks down. Maurice and Alvin Melathe, a producer, follow members of the defense team as they look for alternate suspects, try to find new evidence to poke holes in the case, and track down hard-to-find witnesses. In the end, will the lawyers’ efforts be enough to persuade a deeply skeptical court system — and stop an execution three decades in the making? “The Last 12 Weeks.” A five-part series … on a deadline.
