everyone wants to be a superhero right
they're strong and can save the world
but one expert claims that superheroes
might not actually make the best leader
that's right and joining us to talk
about superheroes mistakes that we
should avoid for leadership is
leadership expert Matt browning thank
you so much for coming on hey I'm
excited to be here too my favorite thing
is your leadership and superheroes okay
all right so we're not completely hating
on the superheroes here we like okay but
let's jump into the mistakes that they
make the first one is the spider-man
snafu what is this well is he most
people think superheroes are great
saving the world all by themselves but
they do make terrible leaders there's a
lot of mistakes we got to avoid okay
spider-man snafu is hiding behind a mask
so many leaders these days try to hide
behind the mask like spider-man and they
can't let people see who they really are
they're trying to be too mysterious
okay perfect I feel like the world
demands authenticity right now not
perfection right all right and then we
have mr. incredible mistake
so mr. incredible he really is but mr.
incredible never trusted his team think
about it right he always told the kids
and the wife to stay home he went out to
save the day lucky for us right the kids
got out with baby Jack Jack and tow they
got out and saved the day you know start
trusting your team they're stronger than
you think they can come through when you
really need them I feel like delegation
is very important especially to be a
good lead and the challenge is nobody
seems to trust that someone can get it
done as good as they can exactly we have
to do as a leader trust okay yes so the
Iron Man illusion right you know Iron
Man's big armor over there the Iron Man
illusion is that armor is what's gonna
protect you the truth is though when
iron may really let people see who he is
the vulnerability became his strength so
in Iron Man 3 when he fell down from the
sky and he took his mask off and he saw
these these scars and wounds that was
the first time really in all the Marvel
movies that we got a heart from for Iron
Man for Tony Stark yeah so we need to be
able to show people our wounds our limps
be vulnerable
and then the hectic Hulk Hulk smash
is that like hope with my favorite
character yeah cuz because I relate
because he's so emotional he like reacts
and flips the lid to every little thing
yes so how many leaders have you ever
seen that reacted before they could even
stop and think about it none of us ever
do that so stop and think things through
you avoid a lot of mistakes I think yeah
having emotional intelligence is such an
important thing taking this role so
emotional heartbeat realizing is really
just like mom and dad said count to 10
yeah before you make a mistake okay and
then you have the Superman screw-up
so Superman you know Superman right our
favorite strong Cape Crusader the
challenges Superman screw-up is not
knowing your kryptonite so every leader
has a kryptonite is the self doubt is a
communication is a time management
that's mine rather I don't pay attention
I could get lost in the moment with
people and not pay attention to time so
what's yours
kryptonite well you gotta watch for in
reality yeah yeah the whole thing mine's
a Hulk thing mine's is the whole thing
perfection is mine perfectionism that's
what most common ones right perfection
is procrastination there's just things
we need to notably watch for so
kryptonite is something that can just
destroy you if you don't pay attention
so get stronger I don't melt like super
red and I get strong and then around
poison we can take tell us about this
