GLS - Promo B Final Cut (International)
BRANDON: Every leader, no matter what they lead, has the moment, that punch in the gut, when you realize the way your team is working isn’t working. It only takes a few lapses in leadership for your team of competent, talented adults to turn into -- well, whatever this is. Watch. I’ll show you.
FEMALE SPEAKER: So we’re tired and we really hope that you can come to a decision today.
MALE SPEAKER: Today would be great.
BRANDON: You guys, what if we focused more on big picture, less on some of these details.
MALE SPEAKER: But the details are what you said made it personal.
BRANDON: Did I?
MALE SPEAKER: Yeah.
FEMALE SPEAKER: Yeah.
BRANDON: Well, I’m feeling like maybe bigger picture is better, more feeling, more heart. I could tell I had confused them, but I didn’t know they were angry pantomiming about my lack of clarity. If I’d planned smarter, I’d have caught it sooner. Instead, we all had to stay late.
MIKE: [Inaudible 00:01:37] and promise not to cry.
FEMALE SPEAKER: Why is he doing nothing on the budget?
MALE SPEAKER: I don’t know.
MALE SPEAKER: The sooner we get started, the sooner we leave.
MALE SPEAKER: All right, come on.
MIKE: Brandon, just say it. If you told her what I said, just say it.
BRANDON: Mike, maybe she guessed.
MIKE: You were the only one who knew.
BRANDON: I was caught. It was such a silly thing, but in the moment I couldn’t admit my mistake. He knew.
MALE SPEAKER: I mean I’m working like those Sherpas in the Himalayas.
BRANDON: Not that Anita would know anything about that. It was a joke. We were all tired. I was careless. I shouldn’t have said it and I couldn’t take it back. Every leader has the moment. I hope you see your moment coming before it comes to this.
