Leadership and Management

Photo by GR Stocks Is there a difference between leadership and management? Some of you may agree that you “lead” people and “manage” things. Or is leading and managing a dynamic and symbiotic relationship? Admiral Grace Hopper coined the phrase, “You manage things; you lead people.” a military background tried and tested that phrase. This article looks at the differences between Leading and…

No good decision was ever made in a swivel chair.

- General George S. Patton

Patton never minced his words because he lived them out. The great World War Two general believed he could not lead his men effectively unless he got his hands dirty himself. That way he could understand exactly what he was asking of them. Hence his belief that a good leader should, “Do everything you ask of those you command.” His inspirational style and aura rubbed off on people fighting beside him, and it came from setting a personal example.

The real message of Lucy vs Buddy is that worshipping a divinity is about following the values that the god puts forth, not about preaching or praying or evangelizing.

When Buddy was offered to die a Helio worshipper or live with a different god, he chose to abandon the faith he claimed such devotion to. When Lucy was offered the same thing, she looked to her values as they related to her religion and decided that she would not add to the coldness of the world. Lucy, even in death, remains a light in the dark, the warm memory in the coldness of the ratgrinders. That’s true devotion. That’s the point of religion.

#thinking about. when I went to the leadership conference in January #and we each were given a list of like 100 values. and we each had to choose 5 to claim as Our Values #and at the end I looked around the room to find that 90% of other people had picked self serving values #family. friends. inner peace. self esteem. faith. etc #and I had things that helped the world. empathy. justice. knowledge. etc #and like… there is nothing wrong with valuing family or self esteem. those things when positive can make life worth living. I get it #but would those people who chose to value inner peace and family have chosen the god of rage? #if u value inner peace over world peace what decisions will you make that fuck over the world to save urself? #this is certainly too deep for a d20 post ignore me #cienna talks #fhjy #fantasy high

i’m starting to think performance anxiety is a direct nod to careful what you wish for. 👀

#chimney was captain. and now we have a leadership arc. #eddie had to make a decision about what he wanted with shannon. now we have eddie dating (and a mention of his date’s partner leaving her) #maddie was struggling with not being able to hands on help people anymore. and now she’s going to likely be helping this girl with anxiety #in person #i’m unhinged. yet another season two callback. #i could kiss these writers on the mouth. #cass chats

Jumper cable guy, again!

- No particular continuity in mind, but I've really only seen G1 and read a variety of fics

- The jumper cables idea comes from the fact that all of the fanon sex descriptions focus on *charge* and nodes that pick up electricity, AND physical stimulation, with the charge having more focus. Therefore, a properly sized dildo made from an *insulator* (not conductive) would be mostly unsatisfying, while conductive materials (metal, including other cybertronians, some organic substances, etc) and things that are actually electrified would make potentially good sex tools.

- The fic is an excuse to link together weird sex scenes via dreamsharing between OP and Megatron. This is caused by the Matrix trying to be a matchmaker and end the war. The plan is to start just by inserting sex into real memories and getting more unrealistic as it incorporates their fantasies. Probably too ambitious, lmao

That makes a lot of sense, and now I'm imagining that insulating materials could be useful in keeping mecha from overloading and edging and stuff. Probably.

Also OOO??? DREAMSHARING SEX DREAMS??? THE MATRIX MEDDLING IN MEGOP? Yesss

Some people acting like Blake stepping up and being a leader is something out of nowhere as if she she didn’t outright state she was raised by the leader of the White Fang and out boycotting and doing activist work as soon as she was old enough.

#ccyy talks #girl just needed some confidence and people she could trust #and time and space away from an abusive shit who probably made her question all of her decisions #a large part of her story is realizing she alone cannot fix the injustices in the world #it's too big of a problem and too complex #but you can make steps forward with support and help #honestly parallels oz in the fact 'no buddy YOU cannot stop salem' #leadership is more than one person always taking charge it can be a collective effort #rwby9 #I GUESS

On Kouyou and Mori's relationship

@2offayyo-kzt THANK YOU FOR ASKING because you prompted me to talk about Kouyou and I love talking about Kouyou. Original post the reply is referring to.

Okay most of it comes from the Kouyou / Mori / Chuuya scene at the closing of the guild arc. First off: in chapter 37 we are made aware that Kouyou decided to stay at the agency of her own accord. Besides from the reasons she had to stay, it's just pretty cool how it's confirmed that Kouyou doesn't feel like having Mori's orders or will she has to answer to and just... Pretty much is free to do whatever she wants. She doesn't care about what Mori requires from her - Mori who most definitely would have wanted her back at the pm as soon as possible - and just acts of her own accord, which is something that even Chuuya doesn't do.

Following up, Kouyou and Mori also reflect over how she's perfectly capable of freely leave the pm, yet she chooses not to (btw her little smirk following Mori acknowledgement of her abilities is SO cute). Again, it goes to show how independent she is from Mori (pretty much putting her on his same level I guess?), being able to leave the pm facing no consequences or retaliation, and just in general how master of her fate she is. It's nice, it's RARE for a franchise where female characters are usually just thrown from one side to the other by external factors and rarely get to choose for themselves.

Then - and so far I strayed a bit from the initial matter, but this is most relevant to the point I was making in the original post - she says “Shut up. I'll sew your mouth shout.” There's A LOT in those lines because it plainly shows how she just... Doesn't fear Mori, doesn't fear calling him out on his creepy behavior, doesn't fear (playfully? ← arguable) menacing him. She's just so unbound and free and self-governed, and totally unbothered by Mori unlike any other character (except for, well, Elise, who's part of Mori herself). It's a joy to see.

Next, the volume 10 extra. The “that's why I told you”, “I'll punch you”, it all goes to reinforce the concept that Kouyou is perfectly unafraid of Mori and doesn't shy away from calling him out and scolding him even sternly. But it's especially interesting to compare her behavior with Chuuya's. Where Chuuya tries to find accomodations for Mori, Kouyou scolds him, and later even accuses Chuuya of being “spoiling him”; their approach is completely different, and as a consequence their relationships with Mori are diametrically opposite. Again, back to my initial point: even Chuuya, who is one of the most self-reliant characters of them all, knows he has to answer to Mori, and accordingly treats him with respect; Kouyou is perfectly unbothered and unafraid.

And even more examples: chapter 42, Kouyou openly arguing with Mori's decision, lacking that mentality that is shared between pm operatives that Mori's plans are infallible and there's no point in questioning them (just think about how sure, confident and even smug Chuuya was about Mori's plan during the Guild arc, chapter 22). Chapter 43, Kouyou spending “half a year's worth of founds” to attack a government van, which I can guess goes against what Mori wants for the pm (lol) and once again just shows how Kouyou... Freely bosses around and does whatever she wants, answering to no one.

With this I'm not saying Kouyou doesn't care about Mori. She DOES care about Mori, she just doesn't in a “subordinate is loyal to their superior” kind of way. She cares about Mori, the thing is that she does because she chooses to and not for any other constraint, which arguably makes her the person that is closer and most loyal to him?? Because she has no second means for being loyal to him, and just does that because she wants to, which makes her loyalty the truest, most authentic one. And Mori knows that, and that's why she deserves to be the next pm boss, and I know they (authors) will never make her but she deserves it and she's the pm boss of my heart end of conversation.

Headcanon time while we're at it, I like to think for Kouyou to address to Mori so informally and familiarly is a way to make up / compensate for the trauma she underwent with the previous boss. When Mori killed the previous boss, she swore she would have never lived in fear again, and even though she ultimately decided to stay in the darkness, it's now her choice; a choice she personally and freely makes despite being aware of potentially, realistically being able to leave at any moment. Addressing Mori as he was her equal is a way for Kouyou to remind to herself about how free and unbound she is.

About Mori and Kouyou, I like to think they had this siblings-like relationship since before Mori became boss I mean, they canonly go cherry blossom sighting together. I like to think a very small, subconscious part of Mori killed the previous boss because Mori held resentment towards him for hurting Kouyou- but that's definitely straying too far alcbdklzbdkskxbks. I like to think Kouyou wanted Kyouka in the pm because she genuinely believed that under hers and Mori's lead Kyouka could be happy, that the pm was the place that most would have welcomed Kyouka, welcomed what Kouyou believed to be her nature.

#Anyways thank you for asking Op akdbdksbos I love talking about Kouyou #bsd #bungou stray dogs #“But how can you say Kouyou is fit to be the next boss when we never saw her holding remarkable leadership skills” #well maybe we would have if they cared to give female characters more than 0.5 seconds of screentime. #But since they don't‚ I can perfectly make up whatever I want for her skills and characterization #(Besides‚ she's part of the four / three pm executives‚ that must amount to something??) #Also chapter 46? The way Chuuya looks at Kouyou before making the decision of attacking the ada?? As if asking for her permission? #Which is NATURAL and VALID since Kouyou is his senior and has been in the pm way longer than he has?? #And is closer to Mori too for the matter??? Aaahh c'mon‚ it's like she's already the second boss. #Kouyou's role in the Cannibalism arc was to personally guard Mori. C'mon. #kōyō ozaki #Tbh very unpopular opinion but I always felt like Kouyou was like. an accidentally well written female character. #ōgai mori #Also not to fuel my “Mori and Kouyou have a close-siblings like relationship” headcanon but chapter 19: #Chuuya: The ADA took Kouyou hostage #Mori (literally‚ I'm not making it up): Well that's rather unfair. Right then! Let's kill the head if their agency. #Uh #bsd analysis #mine

So we all know how all the companions have been traumatized on way or the other and throughout the story they begin to heal, learn to cope and move past of all the trauma, and that Tav comparatively speaking is the more normal one of the group.

But, if we think about it, at the end of the game if Tav survived, they came out of it traumatized and never once throughout the game was Tav ever allowed (or allowed themself) to process what they just went through.

#bg3 #baldurs gate 3 #tav #bg3 tav #tav gets kidnapped and tadpoled #they gut thrust into a leadership role with no one aksing them if that's what they want/think they can do #they gotta make a lot hard decisions and depending on the outcome can leave an impact on them #no one really asks tav how they are feeling #how they feel about a deiccion they made #tav dosen't tell anyone how they feel #they don't really allow themselves to think beyond make decision/keep going/survive

In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.

- General Dwight D. Eisenhower

During the evening of June 2, 1944, Supreme Commander, Allied Expeditionary Force, General Dwight D. Eisenhower met with Winston Churchill, British General Bernard Montgomery, and other military commanders at Allied headquarters in England. They were discussing and planning Overlord invasion of Normandy, which was scheduled to launch in a few days. D-Day was the largest amphibious invasion in history, and Eisenhower had overseen the highly complex military and intelligence preparations for the past six months. The objective of D-Day was to establish an immediate beachhead in order to begin the liberation of Nazi-occupied France. Ultimately, the Allies would fight their way through France and into Germany, forcing Germany’s surrender in World War II.

Eisenhower felt the heavy responsibilities of command for the invasion. The Allies would have only one attempt to invade northern France. If the attack failed due to circumstances beyond his control (such as the weather) or if the soldiers failed to dislodge the Nazi enemy from the beaches, the successful outcome of the war would be greatly jeopardised. Moreover, the certain deaths of thousands of young men from across America and the British Empire haunted him and caused him great anxiety.

After dinner, Eisenhower and his generals gathered in the study where they received a distressing weather report that a storm was blowing in and would delay the invasion. Eisenhower confided to his diary that he felt great stress. “Probably no one who does not have to bear the specific and direct responsibility of making the final decision as to what to do can understand the intensity of these burdens.”

Eisenhower received similar weather reports during the next two days that further postponed the attack. Eisenhower was more frustrated than ever because if the attack did not go off in the next two days, it would have to wait at least two weeks for the right combination of moonlight, tides, and weather. Much could happen in the course of the war in a two-week span, and every day the war continued brought much death and misery. With so many lives at stake, he had to be patient enough not to force the attack. But, with victory on the line, he had to be bold enough to seize any opportunity. Eisenhower tried to relax but strained under the awful burdens of command.

During the evening of June 4, the predicted storm slammed headquarters with driving wind and rain. Just as his hope was melting away, Eisenhower received a favorable weather report that would give him a small window to launch the attack. He only had half an hour in which to make the fateful decision. It was the most important decision of his life, and the course of the war hinged on it. He was quiet as he privately deliberated for several minutes. The decision was his alone to make. Finally, the Supreme Commander said, “I am quite positive we must give the order. I don’t like it but there it is . . .I don’t see how we can do anything else.”

Eisenhower had an opportunity to revisit his decision the following morning with one final weather report and last-minute discussion with his generals. He again paced the floor and silently considered the questions for five minutes. He broke his reverie, looked up, and said,

“Okay. We’ll go.” The invasion began that night.

Eisenhower wrote out a message during the day that demonstrated his character. In an incredible act of moral courage, he took responsibility in case the invasion failed. He could have blamed a thousand factors beyond his control, but instead he shouldered the entire responsibility

During the evening before the attack, he visited with the troops of the 101st Airborne, looked them in the eye, spoke with them, learned their names, and bolstered their morale. Eisenhower also sent a message to all of the invading Allied forces to encourage them as they prepared assault German defenses. The leader of the Allied forces of the free world did not shrink from his duty and responsibility of leadership.

On 6 June 1944, the invasion succeeded in establishing a beachhead for Allied troops. Eisenhower did not have to publish the message in his pocket, but he still felt the awful responsibility of every soldier who died invading France to destroy the Nazi scourge.

its also why i think people who are looking forward to a detailed breakdown of how spider society will react to miles being able to challenge canon -> how that effects their feelings towards miguel are like. just honestly setting themselves up for disappointment AND just not really acknowledging the constraints of the story.

we do not have time for that. it's interesting, absolutely, but not that important to the story being told when there are far more pressing narrative threads to be addressed first.

i can tell you now at MOST you will have a couple of important characters like Jess or Peter representing two slightly different ways to feel about Miguel leadership re canon, but the even more likely path is that all of spider society will be portrayed as having a singular feeling about it. and that's not bad writing, it's just shorthand again. prioritising focus in the narrative to where it needs to go in service of miles as our titular character.

#tunes talks critical #this isnt even like. me complaining about what spiderverse will do w that plot point #I THINK IT IS THE CORRECT WRITING DECISION TO MAKE BECAUSE HOW SPIDER SOCIETY FEELS ABOUT MIGUEL'S LEADERSHIP W CANON IS NOT THE MOST #IMPORTANT THING TO FOCUS ON #AND HAVING A UNIFIED RESPONSE ON THAT IS NOT BAD WRITING IT IS A CONSTRAINT OF A TWO HOUR MOVIE. #tunes talks spiderverse
