Meryl Streep plays US President Jenny Orlean in ‘Don’t Look Up’
1. Removes Selfishness
The President’s decisions are paramount throughout the film, and can easily be transferred to everyday professional life. Leadership plays a big role in the success of an organization, and a selfish leader can damage the results. Because he is insecure, he thinks that criticism is an attack on his creativity and ability to innovate – which is not always true.
Selfish leaders, like the character played by Streep, are primarily concerned with how others see them. Therefore, they attract people who do not want to or do not want to challenge them. This allows them to make decisions that only benefit themselves.
2. Your sphere of influence matters
President Orlean was surrounded by a team of sycophants who did not challenge him in anything. To be a good leader, you have to surround yourself with people you trust, who inspire respect and with whom you can exchange ideas.
Planning and having a strong circle of influence is a clear sign that you are a confident business leader who doesn’t feel threatened by others. It is also a sign of humility, a successful leadership quality. Humble leaders are surrounded by committed people.
3. Greed is destructive
In the film, greed is represented when the President decides to abort a mission to fight the comet after realizing that she could benefit from it. The episode is already self-explanatory, but transferring it to the real world, we see that being driven by greed is harmful to a company, because decisions are no longer objective or based on reasonable data.
Leaders have an obligation to do what is right for themselves and others without thinking about profits. This goes for politics and business. If a leader doesn’t foster a mutually beneficial environment, it won’t take long for the company to begin to experience a decline, losing customers and shareholders.
Your leadership ability will be primarily tested by how you lead your team in times of crisis. Would you encourage them to “look up”?
