You should cold call CVS. I worked for them for 20 years from 16 years old and the culture there got more in line with what you're maligning here with every acquisition they made. I ended as a store manager in Baltimore, DC and eventually Delmarva beaches

Not for CVS sake, but their employees' sake

why didnt you just use ur own phone??

Yes

Simon, I think it would be beneficial if you speak at school districts for the parents to better understand the electronics/video games. It’s a HUGE problem in elementary schools.

At a bar Feeding your narrative your addiction to food everyday is nesecarry. While you are a clone human that is impossible to have 1800 of you across the globe if you are a living being

Imagine if there's an emergency and everyone is hesitating to pick up the phone to call the police, lol

After "phone pile", I honestly thought this was going to be "...and then we pick a random phone and go through it." I also like the one it was though :)

Friends would be nice

@@birdsass yea I feel that

I've got a lot of respect for the leader that takes the time to gather the facts and really try and understand someone before passing judgement. Some great points in this video. Thanks Simon.

On the flip side, I am often in late to work or having to take time off giving short notice and I manage this by being transparent about my caring role so that I can communicate my needs and allow my team to fully understand me.

Sometimes it's the little things... so just a win/win situation with a small question

@@SefalisYoga How do u do that without coming off as someone who has a excuse or reason for everything? Someone that cant be counted on or someone who is irresponsible.

@@CainCapital by delivering what's asked instead of working to a clock, I suspect.

Same here... ☺

I particularly like the part about looking at the lack of trust in organisations, it is so true! Simon's comments on the lack of training in empathy and perspective being key to the reasons for this lack of trust is spot on. It would be great if companies invested in leadership skills as much as they invest in training people for the technical jobs they used to do. Good Video :)

Me too

Agreed 100% and what makes it so valuable is that it is absolutely relatable because it just gets to who we are as human beings on a very simple and basic level (random science facts help too) :)

Yes I watching note10 times

How's it going? I just became a manager for the first time.

Its v imp to reflect back after every 2 weeks or monthly on your social contract with the team you are leading, because it can easily vanish and you start doing exactly the same as every other manager in the org to meet the deadlines...

Nothing wrong with having a phone on desk as long as you don't fiddle with it when you should be focusing on the other person in your vicinity.

Team leader - Do you have the same responsibilities as your teammates? Do you have the authority to give them what they need should they ask (the actual authority, not the responsibility to ask someone else who may or may not have authority)? Are you at least getting paid more?

@@eternalscholar8259 yeah, one realizes that this is not “work” or “leadership” This something about their attitudes and personalities. I hope you’re better now.

I think it's good to understand that perspective, but to also know that people do indeed have different levels of ability. Noah might perform at 8 at Four Seasons vs 1 at Caesar's, but Billy performs at 8 at Four Seasons and 7 at Ceasar's. The employee and the environment both are an important factor.

Rajat Bhattacharjee you go bro!! Support!

Me too, I gave notice at my first full-time job... after 8 months this month :D

This is so impactful

Careful about falling into obsessive patterns. Better is, to write your own journal, and reflect, from day to day, about what you learn since you discovered this talk. And keep this journal active. Your mind will appreciate it.

People/clones never stopped listening to tv/radio/false fabricated nonexistant history media methods. What planet did they clone u on where they did? How. Do. You listen more if your puppet masters shortened your life span according to. Your backstory?

Lol. U human. Clones an your backstory of tv addiction

RE: "This is going to be FUN!" I love your perspective. You know, you're right, of course. Thanks for reminding me why I get such a kick out of tossing around ideas with those younger than me. My initial aim is at providing a safe place for their vulnerability to give them permission to speak. And to ask questions. And to feel good. And to LAUGH out loud, for goodness sakes!?

You must be the CEO of empathy

It shouldn't have to be. without empathy from the people who lead, there cannot be any expectation of empathy from those who are lead.

If a leader can not have empathy for their team, they will soon be without a team and therefore have a leader themselves.

Leaders always eat last. The leader has empathy towards their members. Their members could return this, but maybe not. But a good leader can deal with the lack thereof. The true leader can get the best out of their members.

@@TheOneRaf If leaders eat last the team eat all the food and the leader eats nothing 😂

You actually have to have a graduate degree to teach College and High School, something this conman marketer doesn't have.

@@alexcaminiti Name calling is immature, if you have a rational argument then state it. If someone's a conman then why wouldn't you disprove him? Helping other people not worth your time?

@@alexcaminiti these days a title is almost worstless, a bad investment because a degree doesn't garantice you education

@@TheVeganButcherguarantee 😂

Of course he likely practices!! did you expect him to speak off the cuff on such a complicated topic??Criticism for it's own sake is just wasting time!!,

I appreciate your comment. We didn't want our 15 year old son to have a smart phone because all we saw was the damage it seemed to cause with older siblings and his peers, and we didn't want that for him. During a discussion he gave me some profound insight that I hadn't considered. He basically explained that just like in my day I spoke on the phone, everyone connects over social media. Kids rarely even text anymore, which, once he said that, I realized he was right. My reaction was to say something like ,"Well, maybe you should. You are all losing touch with each other." I didn't' say that and as he went on to say, "This is how we communicate now. This is how our friendships work now. And I'm just always left out from things because no one can communicate with me." A huge wave of understanding came over me. My mother used to get so frustrated about the amount of time I spent on the phone talking with friends. I remember being cut off from the phone for extended periods simply because she didn't want me on it. His explanation and my experience helped me realize that this really is a different age. I think part of me keeps waiting for things to "go back to how it was". It isn't going to. We did, shortly after this conversation, allow him a phone. We set rules as best as we could and occasionally tweek them, but I have sensed we are lacking something. When I read your comment I was enlightened. I am beginning to see how we can do more than compromise with our son; we can actually help him to use this phone as an amazing tool AND for him to have the engagement he needs in the new-age form I dislike. Reflecting that communication has changed and changed and changed over many centuries gives me hope that my son and other children will be okay, and that I can help guide them in this seemingly extreme change in communication.

As the population grows, the age gap is widening day by day and number of people below the age of 25 is far greater than the number of people above the age of 50. This is resulting in the 'power vacuum' like you mentioned.

That's an insane number. It's ok though, he's giving a huge positive impact to those people who like it or not, he gives out great information.

Simon is amazing. U need to watch his Start With Why TedTalk. It's what made him blow up. That talk straight changed my life. I stopped doing things just bc and really answered what I wanted w anything I do. Thanks Simon! 👌

@@zerocal76 thanks bro

You are the best in describing the real leadership roles!!! I learn lot of things from your speech which I will use to groom myself and others... Thank you!

Now this is a compliment to the speaker! glad it helped you out. Having the same experience.

Ok. Fair point. Consider when Simon compares addiction to cellphones and social media to addiction to alcohol at 13:58 Everyone's laughs when he says it's like throwing open the liquor cabinet and saying, "Why don't you try the vodka. It will get you through these hard times." Simon doesn't stop there just addressing a problem. He continues with a suggested solution that is different from the status quo. He illustrates that we show respect to others in our presence by putting the phones away. He does it with more entertaining quips and one liners. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Simon suggests a different course of action that is common sense and he presents it with humor. People laugh because the situation is omnipresent and relatable.

Duh

Lmao

LOL!!!😅

Baaahaaa!! 😅😅😅
