Frederick Sanger won two Nobel Prizes.
Two of his PhD students also won Nobels.
He described himself simply as “a chap who messed about in a lab.”

Communication. Almost everything can be said in two sentences.
Should you add anything more? Yes.
Respect and support. There must always be room for them.

The biggest drop in breast cancer deaths in 50 years came not from drugs — but from mammogram screenings.

Research by John Senger & Joseph Folkman:
Good leaders can double an organization’s profits.
And good bosses usually have… good bosses.

Korn Ferry research (2018) on workplace stress:
For the vast majority of respondents, the biggest source of stress wasn’t workload.
It was their boss.

It doesn’t stop there.
Such leaders shape culture.
Teams under them become more critical of each other, steal credit, and turn more aggressive toward colleagues.

Research at Manchester Business School (1,200 participants) looked at the impact of leadership style.
Result? Working for a narcissistic or psychopathic boss makes employees more likely to fall into depression.
Buckingham Palace announced the death of Queen Elizabeth II in just two sentences:
the Queen had died, and her son had become King.
All the gravity, all the clarity, the transfer of power — in two lines.

Since the dawn of civilization, only about 200–250 generations separate us from the very beginning.
Not that many, really.
#CEOJournal#History#Perspective
Thomas Watson – the president of IBM in the 1940s – once predicted that the world would need “maybe five computers in total”.
Not five types.
Five computers.
#CEOJournal#CEOCouriosity#Leadership#History#Tech
By 2030, the world will have 87.5M–437.5M leaders.
Bosses. Managers. People responsible for others.
And I thought I was special. I couldn’t be more wrong.

That tone stuck with me.
Not heroism. Not bravado. Just clarity.
He wasn’t improvising—he was prepared.
Note to self: build systems that stay calm when things go wrong.

1/2
Admiral McRaven planned the Bin Laden raid using a decision matrix.
Every scenario—yes/no, success/failure—was mapped.
“What if a helicopter crashes?”
It did.
And in the Situation Room, he said calmly:
“As you can see, a helicopter has crashed. We’re moving to Plan B.”
(2/2)
They chose “Comrade.” For hours, Moscow wasn’t sure: respect… or mockery?
One word could’ve sparked war.
Note to self: tone matters.
If one word can shake the world, it can shake a team too.

June 1967. The U.S. President receives the first-ever hotline message from Soviet Chairman Kosygin.
Crisis in the Middle East. Urgent response needed.
But one question halts the Situation Room:
How do we address him? “Chairman”? “Comrade”? “Mr.”?
