Leadership Lessons from Darth Vader
POSTED IN: Blog Posts, Culture, Leadership
This is my final post in the Star Wars blog series celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Star Wars saga. Today let’s look at the original man in black – Darth Vader.
- “The Death Star will be completed on schedule.” – Ok, how many of you have ever been involved in a Church building project? You know how tough it is to get things done on schedule, right? I’ve always been a little jealous of Darth Vader. I mean come on, if I could show up and choke people using the force I could get a church built on schedule too! (Memo to self: Hire Darth Vader as the General Contractor for your next building project)
- “You underestimate the power of the Dark Side. If you will not fight, then you will meet your destiny!” – Here’s an idea for the next time you’re in a meeting where things are not going your way. Stash a light saber under the table and when someone begins to disagree with you stand up and say “You underestimate the power of the Dark Side. If you will not fight, then you will meet your destiny!” It will get results.
- “Don’t be too proud of this technological terror you’ve constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.” - Ok, this one is for all of you out there who have ever felt intimidated by the tech guys on staff. The next time one of them comes to you and explains to you how they fixed your computer just reply with this quote. They will fear you.
