 What do you do with loose cannons? You said I've got some loose cannons in the organization What do you do with loose cannons loose cannons? And he obviously thought that I knew what he meant by that was which and he was inferring You know dodgy people Divisive people do their own thing people non-teen playing people, you know loose cannons and I said to him well if I were you I'd be looking amongst them for my leaders Look like I slapped him in the face The last thing you even thought was that a loose cannon tendency could be the mark of a great leader Think of the great leaders through history Don't you think they were accused of being loose cannons all of their life These people now that with hindsight we make heroes we defy them Nobody doing that at the time when they were alive. They were called loose cannons and rebels and non-team players They became history makers. So I said to him well what you're calling loose cannons. I think is perhaps An unassembled part of a potentially helpful person in your organization It might not be maybe they are an unhelpful negative non-team playing person Maybe they are but for you to just use that word about people you haven't looked closer at I'm not going to be part of that conversation. I'm gonna I'm gonna reframe it. I'm gonna I'm gonna put a twist on it I'm gonna make you think about it differently Don't if he ever did all those people stayed Because when people think you've labeled them and name them as loose cannon and see no value in that strength That's highly behind that veneer. They leave they move on and then three years later They're working for the guy down the road and he saw potential in them that you didn't and he's earning that guy millions Or south of his own business and the loose cannon that you were suspicious about is now putting you out of business using that what you call loose cannon Ability of leadership to think outside the box to be independent minded to go for it to take risks To not be a conformist to be disruptive now this guy's putting you out of business who you saw no value in ten years ago It's that so solutions do not come Assembled so stop looking for completed assembled solution
