The Avengers: End Game took the world by a storm. The wait, the anxiety, the love, we saw it all and the world come to a standstill when this mega movie hit the theatres. While the well-built actors, fancy costumes, superpower skills, etc. have contributed immensely to build the image it is enjoying today; the movie is much more than all these things. If we understand deeply.
The Avengers have shown immense potential in terms of management and leadership. They have taught us that the right kind of approach can empower us to fight any risk, any evil, and any villain. One of the greatest lessons to learn from them is their ‘never give up’ attitude, no matter how rocky the road ahead is, it is our persistence and determination that will take us forward.
Management and leadership are not mere lessons to learn but actually skills to master. Skills that the Avengers have certainly majored in:
Put People First
Human resource undeniably forms the crux of every organization. If the organisation is not responsive to their needs and requirements; to flourish in this highly competitive market age is impossible. Being considerate towards the employee’s well-being is indirectly taking care of the organization’s health. Captain America set an excellent example throughout the series, emphasizing the need to put people first no matter what is going on in the world. No wonder he is an icon and the most loved character.
Keep It Fun
Our favorite “Genius, Billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist,” Tony Stark was at the helm of the biggest company in the world. He made sure that he was enjoying his work and taught the same to his peers. Keeping the situation light with his humor, Tony Stark teaches us not to let negative vibes prosper in the work environment, for the good of everyone.
Play on Your Team’s Strength
That epic sequence from the first Avengers Movie, where Steve Rogers gives instructions to everyone and finishes up his lines with “And Hulk, Smash!” is still remembered. That scene taught us a crucial lesson in leadership i.e., to recognize the team’s strength and capitalize it. Every team has its strong points which can be adequately used to conquer any situation.
Adapt And Evolve
“Are you the God of hammers?” All-Father Odin’s last few words with his son Thor formed the perfect motivational speech. But it was Thor’s understanding of it that made him victorious in the end. Not putting your money on only one skill and adapting to bring more on the table is what you can learn from Thor.
Open to Criticism
A leader knows how to lead, but also knows that the word of advice that they receive should not be brushed off. Black Panther’s decision to open their borders, stems from the advice he got from his cousin who, even though opposed him, had envisioned what that decision would mean.
Diversify the Workforce
For a spearheaded growth, an organization needs a team with a diverse set of skills. Starlord Peter Quill taught us that a team must have a diversified workforce. The diversification may warrant differences of opinions, but if tackled properly, can lead to diversified solutions. Just like the Guardians.
Never Back Down
When you have full faith in what you’re doing, you need to have the strength to keep at it no matter what. If you believe in your work and its potential, then you can learn from Captain America a very simple fact about leadership- “When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world – “No, you move.””. And after all, we all know that he can “do this all day,” so why shouldn’t we?
Valuable life lessons can be learnt from anywhere and everywhere in your life, and that is why it is important to build a perceptive and alert attitude.
