Learning Leadership through Dialogues and Documentaries

I actually struggle to read. I have adhd and so paying attention to books has actually been very difficult. Everybody thinks I'm like this big reader that reads hundreds of books a year. I don't. I've written more books than I'd read.

But I do like learning. And so the way I learn is from listening. So conversations with people who are smarter than me, being. Being that student, always having a student mindset. Insatia will be curious about what makes other people tick. So insatiable curiosity in conversations. But I like documentaries as well. And so two documentaries that I would recommend, which are fantastic for sort of leadership education. One of them is Senna S E N N A, which is about race car driver Ayrton Senna. Even if you're not into Formula One racing, it's still a brilliant documentary and it's still very enjoyable, but basically it highlights these two archetypes. Senna, who drives for passion, and Alain Prost, who drives for the numbers. You know, and if you compare that to our modern day, you know, who's driven by the end of year goal, the quarterly goal, at, you know, at any cost, versus who's the person who does it for the love. And you start to see how they command. Seneca commands tremendous love and loyalty from the other drivers who are competing against him, but they support him where nobody likes Prost. And you just. It. You start to see these two archetypes and it asks, you know, it asks the simple question, who do you want to be? What kind of life do you want to live? Do you want to live one of passion or one obsessed with numbers? And it's just, it puts it out there. The other one is Kumare K U M A R E. Yeah, it's. It wasn't supposed to be a leadership documentary, but it ends up being a great leadership documentary of a documentarian who sets out to sort of mock the sort of guru culture. I won't give anything away, no spoilers here, but let's just say something goes wrong, okay? And it's actually quite interesting.
