Leadership Lessons — Top Gun : Maverick

Interstellar was my all time favorite movie until, Top Gun: Maverick. I must admit this movie resonates so much with my philosophy. This blog has been on my mind for sometime, it is a reflection of my thoughts and principles on leadership. We all have our own version of — “Who is the best leader ?” Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell is definitely not the best in everything he does, and as Adm. Beau ‘Cyclone’ Simpson said — “ Maverick, your reputation precedes you. And it is not a compliment.” Yet there are lessons we most definitely get drawn to and much intrigues us as humans, it manifests so much in any trade or craft we are into. <h1>“He wants Mach 10, we give him Mach 10.”</h1> Inevitably we need to be result oriented, we need to move the needle and bring an impact on to the table. Being in a high pressure environment and calling the WLB card does not excuse us from cutting short on our jobs. Basically it’s about competing with ourselves, how good can we be when put under pressure. Healthy push, staying accountable and delivering quality in timeline goes a mile in building great reputation with your employer. Humans have achieved extraordinary feats when put in such situations but one needs to be a brave heart to stand up to it and not bog down under pressure. Iron Man — “Sometimes you gotta run before you can walk.”. Steve jobs did take the stage to share a extraordinary phone which revolutionized and re-imagined several possibilities in human life, however the phone when pitched was far from ready. That’s progress over perfection at its best. Don’t be hung into analysis paralysis. <a href="https://blog.devgenius.io/leadership-lessons-top-gun-maverick-a07909f3635e">Learn More</a>
