Easily my favorite character in GoT.

This fallacy only comes into play if the course is 100% wrong. You only get really good at things if you practice for 10,000 hours. If you give up on everything after 1000 hours, you will never succeed at becoming proficient at anything, even if you 'saved' 9000 hours by quitting each time. On the other hand, things that are highly luck dependent do tend to have this fallacy a lot, since your 50th pull on the slot machine has no greater chance to win than your first, and if you need to stop, you need to stop, so there is no point in going further, since you have made 0 progress toward winning.

His biggest failure was letting Cersei do whatever and not utilizing the 2 smart sons he had.

Tywin didn't fail, he built the greatest house and army in the kingdoms, but as with many great men, his children were all ingrates and failed him. Jaime was taken from him by a spiteful king. Tyrion succumbed to lust. Cersei in her great wisdom destroyed all the alliances Tywin carefully built over years out sheer pettiness and stupidity. You can talk all you want about the Starks, Martells, Greyjoys, Boltons, Golden Company whatever, none of them dared do anything whilst Lord Tywin lived.

Tywin's mistake was he was a rotten father. Had he actually raised his children better Jamie, Cersei and Tyrion wouldn't be screwed up, insecure and arrogant. He would also be alive to curb his children's worse habits and not be blinded by their flaws. He may looked at his father a weak foolish leader but what Tywin lacked was he failed to discipline himself on how he treated his children particularly Tyrion He was too hung up on being in control and his children especially Cersei and Tyrion resented him for it. He was such a control freak caring more about the Lannister legacy which led to his downfall. The lack of empathy is a reason why Tywin failed.

Cool video! The sarcasm about Gilbert's quote was funny and very German. It's nice to watch a video of commentary using footage rather than footage using commentary, if you catch my meaning.

To me, Tywin's biggest flaw (both in the show and the books) is his desire for absolute control. If he would have actually trusted his children, he could have seen that he had 3 invaluable players that could have made their family name last for centuries. Jamie was one of the best swordmen in the entire kingdom, Cersei was in an invaluable position as the mother of the king, while also being one hell of a political schemer in her own right. And of course, Tyrion is one of the smartest men in the entire kingdom. Had Tywin been willing to give up some of that control he coveted so much, he could have seen that he and his 3 children could have accomplished his goal together, rather than trying to force it through with fear and intimidation.

Long live Jon Snow , King of the North and the sequel we all still want to happen ❤

Thanks!

It's easy to see where Cersei got her narcissism and short-sightedness from. Tywin. Tywin is nowhere near as bad as Cersei is when it comes to planning more than one step ahead. But his methods created more enemies for the Lannisters than friends. For every foe or rival he scared into submission with his tricks and brutality, he enraged and alianated the rest. Hell apparently Tywin had around 4 other siblings including Kevan, and he was pretty much the only one willing to follow Tywin's lead. I think the rest of his younger siblings hated Tywin and were probably glad to be rid of this narcassistic tyrant they had for an elder brother.

To be more specific,tywins biggest mistake was not utilizing Tyrions capabilities

Fantastic stuff, I am surprised you don't have more subscribers yet! RUclips kept on recommending your Tywin video in my sidebar. Have you seen Attack on Titan? If so, I'd be so curious about your view on Erwin Smith's leadership style.

Bro didn’t fail

Excellent video. It really benefits from being that bit longer so you can really delve deep into the theme and illustrate with great examples AND give the audience time to think about it without rushing. NPD isn't just new product development then! 😂 Well done! And I tried to disprove that it was good but couldn't 😅

Tywin originally had great plans, that were beyond ambitious. The plan was for Jaimie to marry Lysa, and for Cersai to marry Rhaegar.

Tywin's biggest failure was obvious to me; his biggest failure was that he hated the most capable of his 3 children, Tyrion, for the crime of being a Dwarf. To the point he set him up or was willing to allow him to die for a crime he didn't commit. Tywin was in the driving seat overall in the show until he was killed by the fallout of his own failures regarding Tyrion. His focus on legacy also is pragmatic. Because pragmatically, 'We are all dead in the long run,' is the ultimate reality. Tywin operates with that as his baseline. Tywin didn't operate with the need for he himself to be on the Iron Throne, only that someone from his family did, because of that baseline.

Star Wars a morality play and thanks to you MBA leadership class. Way to go!

Being shot on the toilet can happen to any modern leader? Now, I am scared.

7:41 would say tyrions focus is more on being loved .

keep it up! great video i like it

4:10 wrong family legacy is fact and not opinion, bad start already man bad start

That puts me in an even greater mood for the weekend! As you say, fun and excellence are not mutually exclusive. So right in so many ways, my friend! Positivity rules! Top video...deeply thought provoking even with a cartoon subject!

To understand Tywins obession with legacy you need to know his background Under tywin's farher who was a weak man, the Lannister name was a joke and looked down upon. They had no respect or fear from the other houses And their own bannerman abused and took them for granted like House Rayne Even Copying the lannister's banner for their own. The family was a laughing-stalk until Tywin took command And then things changed. The extermination of house Rayne and tywin's brutal and ruthless treatment made the lannisters great again and feared. That's what he means, legacy means a family of strentgh and power When he talks to Jamie about not caring what the sheep think he means the weaker houses His concern is the familes standing and power THAT'S why Tywin's greatest mistake was not his political plays But his family ones, he abused and mistreated his family using them as pawns and tools, not out of love but duty and the intent for them to be investments for the family names power and control None of his children really liked or loved him, they were afraid of him or felt lesser in his presence His alienation of his family because of his obsession with family name, and not family cohesion, marked his days.

Please explain the leadership of demaon and viserys in house of targaryen

4:40 its because his dad was weak

He failed because his kids were idiots. The acorn doesn't grow under the great oak.

He understood perfectly that his children didn't shared his goal, he even gave more than one speech about it: they care about fun and should care about legacy, he is very disappointed, etc. So he tried to use force to make them fall in line, he used more and more force precisple to make them care, punishing them until their learned, but they fought back

Very interesting and informative video thank you. Having a mind to think about what other peoples goals are is a very good idea.

Caring about legacy is very pragmatically, it means caring about increasing the power of the family, make sure your descendants survive and thrive. Strange you didn't catch that

Short answer: because the author and the showrunners didnt want the character to succeed.

Great video, Laszlo. I really like the clear and concise descriptions of the various leadership styles. And the take outs! Also a well-made video from the technical point of view! Thanks for this!

He didnt fail he just got caught without guards & his pants down. In that era of westeros there was nobody more successfull & feared than tywin lannister . He was the king without a crown espeacially after king roberts death

Cersei assassinated Robert and Joffrey killed Ned. Tywin had nothing to do with any of that.

I agree that Tywin’s children were his downfall but I diagree a bit with this idea that it was because his kid’s didn’t share his goals. I would argue that Tyrion and Cersi did want to follow Tywin’s plans for Lannister family legacy. But the problem is Tywin rejected both of them in favor of his Golden Boy Jamie. And Jamie was the only kid who didn’t care about the family legacy. He was just a lovesick simp who just wanted to be with Cersi. Tyrion usually did what Tywin told him to. He was a temp Hand for his father, married Sansa at Tywin’s order, and asked Tywin to be made his heir to Castely Rock (since Jamie refused to leave the Kingsguard). If Tywin had gotten offer his hater of Tyrion and agreed to this Tyrion would have taken Sansa with him to the Rock and probably would have been a good warden of the west. Also he wouldn’t have been at Joffrey’s wedding and Tywin may have figured out who really killed Joffrey. And Cersi did what Tywin told her to do when she married Robert. S he wasn’t interested in being stuck in another loveless marriage to Loras. But Tywin didn’t take Cersi seriously since she was a woman and hated Tyrion for being a dwarf. But I think Cersi and Tyrion did mostly agree with Tywin’s plans for family legacy. But Jamie didn’t despite Tywin’s efforts. And Tywin couldn’t move on to his kids who actually mostly agreed with him.

Tywin doesn't want to marry Cersei to Loras in the book, it's more of a mistake made by the showrunners. They tried family trees down, and lost a lot in power/social dynamics.

I don't trust the guy with the thick German accent telling me " I know how that sounds, it's going to be fun guys, I promise. " This is a fun video, though

If one has replied to all comments on one's video yet replying to the latest comment seems pointless, would doing so be an example of the sunk cost fallacy?

Compare Tywin’s legacy to Ned Stark’s. Tywin’s legacy was built on deception, cruelty, manipulation and brutality, and instead of House Lannister being feared and respected, they are hated and loathed. The minute he died, he was pretty much forgotten shortly after and House Lannister’s power died with him. Ned Stark led with honesty, honor, justice and integrity. He, and the Starks in general, were widely loved by their people. There’s a reason the Starks were able to rule the North for 8,000 years. Long after his premature death, along with that of his son, Robb Stark, the northerners still look back on them with pride and still wish to see them avenged. Ned’s legacy survived long after he died. Tywin’s legacy died with him.

Tywinn was undone by his Children. His daughter's incest was realized by both Eddard Stark and his predecessor - and she had them both killed. Killing Eddard caused the War with the North. The type of people who would fight for Cersei and her son Joffrey - were not the best - whereas those that fought for the Starks were. Though they all had problems with their Allies. There was never anything Tywinn was going to be able to do - short of killing his daughter - that would save the situation for him. Cersei was only interested in herself - and her children - but primarily herself. Tywinn didn't make any real mistakes - except not killing Cersei - which he was NEVER going to do. Here - his biggest failure - was in not seeing that his son and daughter were incestuous. .

I like the new light you shed on the topic of the video. This is my first video I've viewed from you and I'm now subscribed.

I disagree with the Walter White example. He was pride-driven as in the Greek tragedy sense.

This is a good video! Nice topic and well illustrated. I also appreciate the easy-to-understand tone and well paced voice.

Nice format! The 3. point where you present a solution is really hard to execute but much needed. Its better to sacrifice the investment, if the investment is becoming unbearable and could cost you your health, or even, your life...

Hab Deinen Channel gerade gefunden. VIEL ERFOLG!!! Tolles Video!

Really insightful and I like the fact that you use many fictional examples in a variety of settings! Aren't you too young for Friends?! Thanks again!

Tywin Lannister is a toxic leader behind a mask of intelligence and charisma. He is the archetype of a bad leader, not because he lacks intelligence or strategy, but because his methods rely on humiliation, threats, and manipulation. As a potential narcissistic abuser, he seeks to assert his authority by crushing others, even those who should be his closest allies: his own family. For instance, he openly belittles Jaime and Tyrion, not to teach or inspire them, but to assert his superiority. Jaime is treated as a foolish warrior incapable of grasping the nuances of power, while Tyrion is systematically mocked for his appearance and perceived weaknesses. This toxic dynamic demonstrates that his leadership is not built on loyalty or respect but on fear and submission. Tywin wields his intelligence to maintain absolute control, even at the cost of destroying the self-esteem of those around him. His total lack of empathy is not merely a form of coldness but a fundamental inability to see others as anything more than tools. This twisted form of emotional intelligence, where emotions are exploited to manipulate or break others, makes Tywin a figure who might seem "admirable" at first glance. In reality, he embodies everything a good leader should not be. What Tywin teaches us is that intelligence and charisma alone are not enough to define healthy leadership. A true leader inspires trust, builds relationships based on mutual respect, and helps others grow. Tywin, on the contrary, destroys everything he touches, including his own family, whom he claims to protect. Let us not forget this essential lesson: beware of those who shine brightly but whose shadow smothers others.

Extremely well presented and a lot of take outs which I personally find exceptionally relevant! Thank you, Laszlo! Nail on the head and all that 😊

great video! thank you for the correction on pronuniciation

great video, interesting analisis and subject matter. only slight quip i have with the video is the pronunciation of Tywin, never heard it said that way
