What is the role of a leader?
2
Well, the first one clearly is to be the chief meeting officer.
3
To let everyone in the place know where you're going, why you're going there, and most importantly,
4
what's in it for them to get there with you.
5
People like to talk about where they're going, why they're going there, but they don't, they always leave out the third thing.
6
When you come into a new job and you say, we want to change, change is great, we got to do it.
7
You forget people hate change.
8
You got to explain what's in it for them to change with you.
9
So be the chief meeting officer and give meaning to every one of those people that are out there doing that job.
10
So that they understand why you're going where you're going.
11
And they know what's in it for them.
12
Better job, more pay, more flexibility, maybe nothing if you can't say nothing.
13
But you've got to understand that's one of them.
14
have a job, your job is to not give all these directives
15
and not be the person getting rid of the clutter getting
16
rid of clutter is a huge deal you can't all of
17
a sudden have bureaucracy let's go here let's go there
18
that have 20 rules to stop the employees from getting there you've got to break down all those little silos
19
that occur all those little bureaucrats who are checking the boxes in some layers, slowing you down.
20
You've got to be the person in the.. we always use this analogy of curling.
21
You see it every four years in the Olympics with the broom out in front of the thing.
22
You've got to be brooming away the stuff that's in the way.
23
You've got to be the chief broomer out there to get rid of things so people can act and do things.
24
You've got to have, if you want to be, in my experience, and I've looked at thousands of managers in my lifetime, you've got to have a generosity gene.
25
It's got to be in your body.
26
You've got to love to see people promoted.
27
You can't have a jealous vein where you can't, oh, Joe got promoted and I should have got that job, or Mary got this and Pete should have got it or whatever.
28
You gotta enjoy people's success.
29
You gotta love people's success.
30
You gotta get in their skin and really be excited as hell for them.
31
You gotta love to give raises.
32
You gotta be turned on giving bonuses.
33
It's got to make you feel great and not, geez, I gave him a bonus and I didn't get one that big.
34
None of those feelings.
35
You've got to just get over them.
36
And if I look at all the leaders I've seen, the best ones I've seen, have this generosity gene.
37
Ask yourself, do you have it?
38
Or do you have a little small gene in there that's killing you and give raises, is killing you to see other successes and jealous in your body.
39
You can't have it.
40
Brush it out.
41
Clean it out.
42
And then do you go to work every day, finally, to really have fun?
43
Are your people having fun?
44
Make, find all kinds of ways to win.
45
There are small victories all the time and celebrate every one of them.
46
We found a way to bring a keg in on everything.
47
Find a way.
48
Find a way to make little victories big victories.
49
And if you get a lot of little victories, you'll get a big victory when you add them all together.
50
But think of the job that way.
51
Work is fun.
52
And your job is to make it fun if you're a leader.
53
Don't be some grinding horse's ass.
54
If you're a bore, slap yourself.
55
Think of the excitement and fun you can have in your job.
56
Make it fun.
57
Be the chief fun officer.
58
So in my view, you've got a huge responsibility, most of you.
59
God gave you a job where you are responsible are responsible for people's lives.
60
It's a big deal.
61
You got families you're responsible for?
62
Make it a big success for them.
63
You got one of the luxuries of life to impact people's lives.
64
Grab it, squeeze it, and take advantage of it.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
