We're going to be incapable of seeing the big picture, right? Of being that calm, courageous protector and really empathizing with others. So we've got to focus outward. We've got to strive towards that. And one thing I think that all of us can do
is once a month, reflect on times when you're infuriating, but also when you're inspiring, and also to reflect on the people in your life and when they inspired you and how you might emulate those behaviors. And then just once a month, take whatever you've reflected on, those emulations and reflections, and just make one commitment for the next month. Here's one thing I'm going to do better.
Now I'm going to do is I'm visionary, but my message is too complex. I'm going to simplify it. I'm going to do this next month. I'm going to try to be calmer even when I'm experiencing time pressure. Now I'm going to do this month. Every couple of days, I'm going to elevate someone and point out what a great job they're doing.
If we can do those reflections and emulations into intentions, right, we're going to be more inspiring, more of the time. We're going to spread the seeds of inspiration and we're going to make the world a better place to be.
AdamGalinsky.com. Awesome.
Thank you so much. It was such an honor to be here and thanks for all of your generosity today.
Leaders are made. Because there is a universal set of characteristics that make someone inspiring, we can study those, learn those, practice those, and develop those skills. It also means... that it's our current behavior that inspires or infuriates. So that means that you could be inspiring today, but you could slide towards the infuriating end of the continuum tomorrow.
But it also means no matter how bad you are today, tomorrow you can be a little bit better.
It was almost 30 feet below the surface, so the captain, Francesco Schettino, couldn't see it, but it just tore a gigantic hole in the bottom of the ship, basically rendering the ship inoperable.
Absolutely. It had a complete loss of power. There was a blackout that was involved. And basically, at that moment in time, this was essentially a shipwreck.
That's not what happened at all. In fact, he did not alert the authorities immediately. In fact, he spent a considerable amount of time trying to go into crisis management mode, figure out how he was going to protect his own reputation and come up with a story that wouldn't place the responsibility on himself.
He tried to come up with a story to say that rather than the sudden blackout, which was caused obviously by the accident and the water rushing in, was actually the result of the accident rather than vice versa. And his primary concern was, how am I going to protect myself? And he didn't spend any energy thinking about how he was going to protect the passengers.
He did not. At the time that the Coast Guard was communicating with Chatino about the rescue, he was already himself in a lifeboat. And he claimed that he did not intend to be in a lifeboat, that he fell and stumbled accidentally into the lifeboat. So while everyone else was on board and panicking, Captain Chatino was safely in a lifeboat off of the ship.
Absolutely. That's exactly what he claimed. He said that he stumbled and fell and actually slipped into the lifeboat. And now once he's in the lifeboat, there's no real reason to get off the lifeboat because he can, quote, organize the rescue from there.
Well, the Coast Guard was furious that he was in the lifeboat, and they were demanding that he climb back up. And they gave him very specific orders. Climb back up. Tell me how many people are on board. Tell me how many women are on board, how many children are on board. Gave him very clear instructions.
And Chatino kept giving sort of mumbled answers about why he couldn't possibly go back on board. And eventually he just stopped climbing. responding to the Coast Guard member. And you could see, you could hear in the Coast Guard member's voice, his fury and infuriation just consuming him. And at one point he was so furious, Ascettino, that he yelled, I will get you for this.
That is actually true.
So if you were in the lifeboat and you were there with Schettino, you would not know that he was the captain of the ship because somehow in the course of this panic state where everyone is running around trying to save their lives, he managed to change out of his captain's uniform into his civilian clothing before he, of course, stumbled and accidentally fell into the lifeboat.
It was a disaster. I mean, 32 members of the passengers passed away, perished, lost their lives because of this. And when we look back at it, it's very clear that
As soon as the damage was done, as soon as the Costa Concordia had hit this reef, if Francesco Schettino had immediately called the Coast Guard, had immediately come clean, had immediately set up a process of rescue, it's very likely that every single passenger would have survived and with no injuries.
