Great leadership comes down to only two rules | Peter Anderton | TEDxDerby

I still find leadership hard to take seriously when the strongest correlation to being a CEO is not resume or education. Its Height.
Want to be a leader? Be over 6'2".

Absolutely brilliant video thanks very much

Just 2 lessons. It is about to guide the player to have they like you and work together Achieve the target. Other is about you that need to change yourself because you are the one that only can change and born other leader

time wasting, nothing more!

"Maybe everything that we need to know about leadership and life was written down a long time ago"

Just 2 lessons. I love it and it makes so much sense to me. Thank you.

A leader doesn't take 17 minutes and 26 seconds to say two things.

Briliant! Rule #1 - We- not- Me Orientation!

Nice representation.

VERY NICE PRESENTATION

The key goblin lol

Thank you! Absolutely love this🙏🏻

Great talk. I liked the lessons from history.

Who brings a baby to a Ted talk??

Um, and what about the chocolate? Please don’t tell me it was found within, I don’t think I could handle that. How did the end product of both stories come together in the end?

Amazing presentation...

Great job Pete and thank you!

Loved your talk. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you

Wow this was extremely insightful. I'm going to change my job because of my boss and this was very educational

So simple, yet so many companies make things much more difficult than they have to be. All under the guise of "improvement." My husband's company is no different. They have spent no telling how much money on a "management guru," who in my opinion is rude, judgmental and does not have a complete understanding of what he is doing. He has a, we will call it, a management cookbook, that has worked for him. He thinks he has the only path to success.

Apologies I digress.

I will give him credit for making the 4wk look-ahead easier. But honestly, what the company is suffering from is the "Peter Principle."


Management is out of touch, they expect the field to be accountable (and they are), but the people in the office never hold themselves accountable. Afterall, they are the ones who end up hiring these inexperienced, and in some cases, literally crazy people who cause most of the issues in the field. They expect their foremen and superintendents to assume (yes, I said it) the blame when they themselves are the people who hire these guys without checking a reference and they are the ones who are buying into the BS the new hires are selling.


Sorry, I guess I needed to get that off my chest.


Annnny way, I enjoyed the video.

D

AWESOME!!!

Never heard of chocolate hobnobs. Amazon, don't let me down!

That’s a terrible idea about leadership. Poorly dressed not funny and made absolute no sense. He is mainly talking about ownership but he also quotes some terrible leaders.

Thank you.

Finally
Words i can kind of understand. Be great.

It is true that leadership comes from service, like Jesus, his passion is the son/servant of God,
he cures the sickness people not for money, he teaches us how to love others like love myself. He changes people by giving himself in the cross.

Hands down the best TED talk in a long while (and it is still circulating after 5 years)

vERY iNSPIRING!

What a well researched talk, kudos to you man!

It's so different: what makes you a good leader, versus how we should respond to others who are leaders. For ourselves, we should earn respect and not rely on designated authority. Plus, never appear to lack an answer or a task to perform. Turning that around as to how we deal with our leaders, remember Catch-22. Most leaders want one thing only: like us...

e very good segment! thank you.

What a life changing and giving talk.
Thanks a lot.

It's not about you; It's only about you; and listen.

My two cents is: 1. Lead by example. 2. Give'm what they want.

Absolutely love this - thank you for a really powerful and interesting talk

Amazing talk , I completely agree with you

Your lesson is a guidance for many. Thank you so much for sharing. Best wishes for you and your family.

Powerful!! Simple but not easy!

Great teachings

Dear English friend

"Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power"

Excellent

Really great stuff

Nice!!

How does this apply to COVID? Are today’s leaders not applying rules 1 and 2? Are they leading not for their people, those they serve, but for themselves?
