"CEOs and Optimism. Back in [----] when the bubble had burst for the Internet companies @bhorowitz asked his mentor and Intel's ex-CEO Andy Grove how come all these CEOs missed their numbers despite having told investors that their businesses were strong Andy replied "CEOs always act on leading indicators of good news but only act on lagging indicators of bad news." "Why" asked Horowitz. Grove replied "In order to build anything great you have to be an optimist because by definition you are trying to do something that most people would consider impossible. Optimists most certainly do not listen"

"Winston Churchill never minded crying in public. Even as prime ministerin an age that admired the stiff upper lip. He was a man of such powerful emotions with a profoundly romantic imagination and capacity for empathy. He possessed such aristocratic disregard of what others thought of him. If he felt like crying he just did. The concept of the British stiff upper lip was invented by the Victorians and was especially prevalent in the upper classes where it was considered infra dig to show ones emotions openly. It was widely believed that the British Empire itself depended on the capacity of"

"The CEOs who often bring to our conversations thoughts like "Am I the right CEO If the board doesn't fire me maybe I should fire myself" are usually the best CEOs. Because these thoughts show how much they care. These folks are brave enough to be willing to look inside and see themselves from outside. They want to grow and become better leaders. They seek coaches and mentors and a support network to whom they are brave enough to express these thoughts. Taking this a little further leadership is mostly an inner game.

"Biotech and Urgency Inspiration from Alnylam Akshay Vaishnaw: If I write to @JMaraganore right now I know I will get a response in the next five minutes.

Let's have a meeting next week and we'll call George and Susie and we will talk. No John will say Sure we can have that meeting. But Angelos let me see your ideas.

"Letting go of an employee involves a grieving process. And every grieving process is a . process. You can't expect to not feel bad about letting someone go no matter why who or how. You're getting in the way of your recovery when you want to recover faster. When letting someone go you are grieving your expectations what "could be but isn't or hasn't". You are grieving your wrong judgements the missed opportunities the time and resources invested. The only way to let someone go with respect and come out wiser is to allow that grieving to happen mindfully and organicallywith acknowledgement"

"Back in [----] Novartis ditched its RNAi research giving the lead scientist the first "courage award" for stopping bad projects🤦♂ Novartis ex-CEO Joseph Jimenez said at the time "One of the reasons why spending in the pharmaceutical industry is so high is that many scientists keep their products alive far beyond when they should be. If you help them feel like it's OK to stop the project you're going to save hundreds of millions of dollars." At that time Novartis had an option to buy the RNAi platform for $100 million. Alnylam desperately needed that money to keep going as a company. Novartis"

"A couple of weeks ago @JMaraganore and I talked at @LabCentral about leadership in biotech coaching people and culture. John's thoughtful questions helped me reflect on what happens in my work with biotech leaders. Here are some things my clients have struggled with and new ways to think about them: [--]. Can I be that emotionless person I want that You often say "I dont want my team to see me stressed worried afraid sad or angry." And I say that's dangerous Because what gives the most anxiety to your team is not you expressing your emotions but your striving to hide them What really freaks out"

How can a coach not be inspired to want to move mountains to support the CEO who says such things And I told this CEO imagine if that person were here to hear what you said.
