2:08 It depends. There are people whose social skills are far from ideal for a variety of reasons (disability included), so as long as they are competent and not evil, I could live with that. Even those with good social skills have ‘off days’, and most importantly, a work place is not primarily a place to be chummy and have a jolly good time. Of course it’s better to have a good, appropriately friendly team, but everyone is there to achieve common goals. A workplace is not a club where groups of employees bite each other’s arses around the water cooler.
7:35 Damn right. Me neither. I don’t want the responsibility. I have low self- esteem, low confidence, and a far from ideal character as I shun responsibility. I am sure you can think of other reasons, too, and I will not dispute them. Mark my words- I will NEVER be a manager. Ever.
7:26 No. Forget the notion of ‘career’ as becoming a manager. Tell them you will help them to be the best of themselves in their current role. Make them proud of themselves because of what they will have achieved. Help them to utterly fall in love with their job.
8:08 😂 Touché. Good luck with that. This is another reason for which I will never be a manager. I know what it means to have incompetent, spineless managers, and I would not want to put anyone through that ordeal.
Is it my computer or is the music way way louder than the audio of him speaking? I blow my eardrums if I don't turn the sound down right after hearing him speak.
People with the highest potential are those who attempt to change the values of humanity not for the current generation where they live, but for the future generations. These people don’t operate in the business world and never will. Can you imagine Gandhi, Mandala or Martin Luther King working in a corporation? Giants transcends corporations ….
It is the mind set on high-potential , the problem is that others kills you on the way to top, by stealing your authentic ideas, and doing all those inappropriate things. They stay in the way of peoples development due their incapacity to get there by themselves.
2:50 This is not such a black and white issue. A good manager can use even such employees’ arrogance for their benefit and the benefit of others. Why are they arrogant? Are they really arrogant or it’s a symptom of something else that can be addressed? Why are they cynical? A manager MUST try to help them.
That's all well and good...but no company is listening to what this guy says because that was 9 years ago and it's still the same situation every place of employment all the toxic characteristics he has addressed are still in place
I left after 4 minutes. This dude have no clue with High potential means. Enough High potential people who just don't want to senior management but still can be high potential. Fact is there are many senior managers who are just the opposite of High potential.
What a genius! Abrasively know-all but refreshingly low on bs - humorous, insightful & straight. Loved this! 😊
I don’t know this gentleman, but I bet he is exceptionally bright, which makes him saying some nonsense, quite disturbing, really.
2:16 Indeed. Inspire (and reward) their desire to achieve excellence irrespective how ‘small’ (there no such a thing) their job is.

8:30 No. Hire managers from outside of your organisation if you don’t have employees with managerial skills who could be good managers.

Very entertaining and interesting. Enjoyed it. The music so so.

4:00 Ambition must be redefined. Ambition to be your best, yes. Ambition translated into climbing on your colleagues’ cadavers, no. Definitely not.
6:25 ‘Outcomes’ at the expense of employees or even clients? I really, REALLY don’t think so. ANY business should be for people and that’s that.
6:02 I never trusted statistics much. If you’re a good manager use your own judgment.

Fascinating. The guy clearly doesn't have very high opinion of 'people' or 'humans' in general, and he is so right.
Fantastic. I have Robert as one of the few sages that Is right. There are few people that I trust more in terms of what they say.
9:56 Not leadership. Management.
Fight for love and glory

7:09 No. Do you need divas?

4:11 Tolerant to what? 🤨 Poor practice? Hell, no. 🔥
