I disagree with the Walter White example. He was pride-driven as in the Greek tragedy sense.
Yes, you are absolutely correct about the pride and going on certainly also satisfies his ego. But I would argue that his pride and the SCF are not mutually exclusive, as after he has reached his initial goal, there are more and more setbacks over time that would make it the most rational way to quit the Business, yet he still goes on despite having the opportunity to leave with the support of Saul Goodman. He might be driven by his pride in that, but that would still constitute a Sunk Cost Fallacy (being too proud to let go) in my opinion.
This is a good video! Nice topic and well illustrated. I also appreciate the easy-to-understand tone and well paced voice.
Thank you so much for the kind feedback, really appreciate it!
Nice format! The 3. point where you present a solution is really hard to execute but much needed. Its better to sacrifice the investment, if the investment is becoming unbearable and could cost you your health, or even, your life...
Thank you very much for your kind feedback, highly appreciate it! You are right - this is absolutely one of the cases where the solutions to a problem are very obvious, but still extremely diffficult to execute 👍
Hab Deinen Channel gerade gefunden. VIEL ERFOLG!!! Tolles Video!
Danke Dir sehr 😊👍👍
Really insightful and I like the fact that you use many fictional examples in a variety of settings! Aren't you too young for Friends?! Thanks again!
Thank you a lot for your kind feedback 😊 yup, I was - for the earlier seasons at least 😅
Tywin Lannister is a toxic leader behind a mask of intelligence and charisma. He is the archetype of a bad leader, not because he lacks intelligence or strategy, but because his methods rely on humiliation, threats, and manipulation. As a potential narcissistic abuser, he seeks to assert his authority by crushing others, even those who should be his closest allies: his own family. For instance, he openly belittles Jaime and Tyrion, not to teach or inspire them, but to assert his superiority. Jaime is treated as a foolish warrior incapable of grasping the nuances of power, while Tyrion is systematically mocked for his appearance and perceived weaknesses. This toxic dynamic demonstrates that his leadership is not built on loyalty or respect but on fear and submission. Tywin wields his intelligence to maintain absolute control, even at the cost of destroying the self-esteem of those around him. His total lack of empathy is not merely a form of coldness but a fundamental inability to see others as anything more than tools. This twisted form of emotional intelligence, where emotions are exploited to manipulate or break others, makes Tywin a figure who might seem "admirable" at first glance. In reality, he embodies everything a good leader should not be. What Tywin teaches us is that intelligence and charisma alone are not enough to define healthy leadership. A true leader inspires trust, builds relationships based on mutual respect, and helps others grow. Tywin, on the contrary, destroys everything he touches, including his own family, whom he claims to protect. Let us not forget this essential lesson: beware of those who shine brightly but whose shadow smothers others.
Love your comment and elaboration on Tywin as a leader, thank you for that! I agree with you of him being the archetype of "Leadership done wrong". I like his pragmatism and his effectiveness as a leader, but yes he is very toxic and in many ways what most would probably call a "Machiavellian" leader, very much similar to Frank Underwood from House of Cards. But that does not mean one should adopt his style AT ALL, as toxicity and manipulation are not attributes and instruments of a good leader (not in my opinion, at least). I think a great example of a leader who is at least as effective as Tywin, but with way more heart and humanity, is Chrisjen Avasarala from The Expanse, and I will certainly look at her in another video in the future.
Extremely well presented and a lot of take outs which I personally find exceptionally relevant! Thank you, Laszlo! Nail on the head and all that 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words, really means a lot to me! 🥰
great video! thank you for the correction on pronuniciation
Thank you for your kind words - and the correction last time 😊👍
great video, interesting analisis and subject matter. only slight quip i have with the video is the pronunciation of Tywin, never heard it said that way
Thank you a lot for the kind feedback! You're right about the pronunciation - the name should be Ty-win, my German brain just constantly keeps interfering and I never thought about pronouncing it any other way 🙈🙈 let's see if I get it right the next time I visit this character... 😅
Insightful, great examples and huge relevance for 'everyday leadership'... Looking forward to more from you!
Thank you so much for your kind words and support 😊👍👍
Very insightful 👍
Glad you think so, thank you a lot!
"Explain to me why its more noble to kill ten thousand men in battle than a dozen at dinner." "The Northerners will never forget." "_Good._ Let them remember what happens when they march against the South." Tywin's endorsement of the Red Wedding was ultimately short-sighted. He believes that fear of the South and the traumatic loss of nobility at the Red Wedding would discourage further rebellion among the Northerners, and pacify them permanently. Even _if_ it had the intended effect of cowing them instead of outraging them and fuelling even more hostilities, Tywin forgets the simple truth that fear is certainly an effective means of control but it will _never_ work forever. Eventually, people's hatred of you will always outgrow their fear, and they'll rise up to fight even more fiercely. And to boot, Tywin's endorsement of the violation of the rite of hospitality proves that absolutely nothing is sacred to House Lannister, and that nothing they say or supposedly believe can be trusted. If House Lannister cannot be trusted to uphold even the most fundamental of courtesies of feudal life, in wartime or otherwise, then even those already allied with them will no have reason to trust or serve Lannister interests beyond immediate self-preservation.
Great video 👍
