Came across this video a while ago and it's one of the best examples of values-driven leadership I can reference. It sums up Pep Guardiola's greatness over the years for me.
I want to call out 6 things that helps you look at this beyond yet another "locker-room motivational talk", and see what you can take from it as you lead people.
1. "Do you think it's normal what we have done today?"
— Pep goes straight for the lifeline of a team's culture: norm. The standards were down and he led with the rethoric question that "this is not acceptable". "My team is not like that."
2. "For the guys who travel... who don't have money to pay their heater at home?"
— Pep deepens the WHY, as he reminds the players who they are doing this for, and what it means to them. You can't hear that and not wake up from your nonchalance!
3. "Down to earth... work harder"
— Here he takes the chance to re-emphasize the values that matter and should drive every minute of action.
4. "The academy is waiting"
— He brings a necessary dagger here. High-performing teams must be teams, not families, however warm that language feels. A good culture can feel like family, but unlike families who can't replace siblings, good teams have to replace people when they stop meeting the standard. Pep reminds them that others are waiting to take their place. Used carelessly and in every situation, that message can damage trust. But in the right moment, as part of a larger call to meet the standard, it was just perfect.
5. "You can say it's Carabao Cup... it's going to happen in Champions League and Premier League"
— This is one of the best parts as he reminds his team that what you do in the little moments and situations eventually carries on to the bigger moments. Your values have to be consistent, regardless of the size of what you are doing per time. Even more urgency of the implication: "my team is not like that... we'll be in trouble".
6. "You are not hungry"
— This can be useful in the right moment. You encourage people. You call out the best in them. But when they keep acting beneath that standard, you may need to confront them with the thing they least want to hear. I once asked an employee "do you really want to be here? Let's have a honest conversation, do you?" Those conversations can be critical.
Pep walks out in the most dramatic fashion, after slowly staring at every single one of them in the eye:
"Maybe I was confused."
Masterclass 👏🏾
@leyeConnect@Ayoolafelix It's literally the best ever vector manipulation tool. Other tools pick a small set of Illustrator's features and ship them as an entire product 😭😭
Was at the @lens4good event in Ilorin earlier today - #LensForGoodKwara
Not as a participant though 👀
But for the delivery of this gaming laptop to a TOP creator! 😊
Were you there??
The MacBook Neo is basically a “sachet” MacBook.
Apple removed many of the high-end features found in traditional MacBooks but still branded it a MacBook.
Still a pretty good price though (from $599).
Well, I’ve never really bought into the idea that networks are deliberately sucking our data. What I’ve noticed, however, is that there’s usually a “leak.”
To make sure your data isn’t “leaking,” you need to block all the possible ways that could happen. You can try these ⤵️
@MTNNG I’m tired of you guys fr
How will I subscribe 200GB on my 5G router on 18th, and today only 73mb is left???
That’s how I sub 120gb on January 1st and in just 3days it got exhausted

What exactly is happening?
Building a Personal Brand Pays when you have value & People Pay for it.
Bought a Laptop for myself (I'll share my story later)
