The the three core topics brought up in this article were: focus input, as a leader helping people understand themselves and leaders becoming more transparent. There was no main point that the writer was trying to give across. Outlining the points, focusing on inputs discussed the comparison of sport and business. Helping people understand themselves discussed focusing on people’s strength rather than weaknesses, Punter mentioned in his interview from the Sophie Matveeva that there are three main areas “the employee’s skills and talents, their external motivation (money?) and their internal motivation”. Becoming more transparent as a leader was an exploration into the causes of office politics and why leaders need to become more honest and transparent about why rewards are given out.
This article gave me an exploration into what makes a good leader in this ever increasingly technological world, and various insights into how adaptions can be made to businesses in order to maintain high standards in both leadership and technology. I found the article enjoyable to read, the topic raised (Leadership adapting with changes in technology) was very current and interesting. The article raised aspects that of business that related to various individuals including: Students, academic readers and CEO’s. Some of the new efforts to bring technology further into the business world include: new training for students to help apply STEM subjects as a property of their learning as well as, coding bootcamps and online programming courses to create new developers.
Punter brought up an interesting analogy that confined between sport and business. This analogy focused on the inputs vs the outputs, business imitates sport: the better the inputs, the better the results. As for an athlete the ultimate finishing line in first place, but clearly this cannot be done through a bad set of inputs. Just like a business the ultimate finishing line is exponential growth and improvement in all aspects of the company. Good inputs are the fundamental for starting a good business cycle.
