360. Why the Astronomer CEO’s Viral Mistake Matters for Every Leader
Description
Astronomer CEO on Coldplay Kisscam: A leadership lesson in trust, power & judgment.
Social media platforms have been full of schadenfreude (read: pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune), as the relationship between two company executives was inadvertently revealed for the world to see on the Jumbotron at a Coldplay concert.
We shouldn’t fall into the trap of making moral judgments. Everyone has to make their own choices about how they live their lives, and then accept the consequences - good, bad, or indifferent.
Karma is reliable, and it’s not for us to judge.
But this cautionary tale gives us plenty of leadership lessons to consider!
In this episode, I explore the themes of hubris, trust, power imbalances, and meritocracy, and give a prognosis for the future careers of the individuals involved.
