It's a classic example. Yeah of how even the best-laid plans 117 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:50,810 Can go awry right when you underestimate when you underestimate the chaos factor 118 00:06:50,810 --> 00:06:51,720 chaos factor 119 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,480 You just never know what those little guys are gonna do right? Yeah, they're 120 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,880 unpredictable. It also speaks to the importance of 121 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,690 Delegation and trust. Yeah, something I'm sure you can relate to in your own work. 122 00:07:03,690 --> 00:07:03,840 Oh 123 00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:06,900 Absolutely delegating can be a double-edged sword 124 00:07:06,900 --> 00:07:11,160 It can be you hope that the people you delegate to will carry out your vision 125 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,880 But yeah, sometimes it goes off the rails it does sometimes even when you give 126 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:15,980 clear instructions 127 00:07:15,980 --> 00:07:21,170 You think you've been crystal clear you think so, but somehow yeah, the message 128 00:07:21,170 --> 00:07:22,640 gets lost in translation 129 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:27,080 Things can go sideways go sideways if you don't have the right people in place 100% 130 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,320 you gotta have the right team 131 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,870 Yeah, that's a lesson. We've all learned. I think so at some point. I'm sure the 132 00:07:32,870 --> 00:07:34,320 hard way usually the hard way 133 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,680 Yeah through trial and error. So as Christmas Eve arrives 134 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,040 Jack sets off. Okay in his makeshift sleigh 135 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:47,650 This is not gonna be good ready to deliver his own brand of Christmas cheer to the 136 00:07:47,650 --> 00:07:48,080 world 137 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:53,520 Oh boy buckle up, but things are about to go very very wrong 138 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,830 I can't wait to see how this unfold you can't wait.

All right, his gifts are 141 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,100 terrifying to say the least 142 00:08:02,100 --> 00:08:06,270 Yeah, they're not bringing the Christmas cheer. He's spreading fear instead of 143 00:08:06,270 --> 00:08:07,000 cheer, right? 144 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,540 But he's completely oblivious to the negative reaction. Yeah, he's just like 145 00:08:11,540 --> 00:08:11,940 getting it 146 00:08:11,940 --> 00:08:15,070 It's like he's seeing what he wants to see not what's actually happening. Yeah, and 147 00:08:15,070 --> 00:08:15,660 we've all been there 148 00:08:15,660 --> 00:08:19,810 I mean, we've all been there. Yeah, it's a great example of confirmation bias in 149 00:08:19,810 --> 00:08:20,280 action 150 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,190 Oh, yeah, Jack is so convinced that his version of Christmas is fantastic that he 151 00:08:24,190 --> 00:08:27,120 ignores any evidence to the contrary 152 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,890 Hmm. It's something we all need to watch out for yeah, especially when we're 153 00:08:30,890 --> 00:08:33,280 passionate about an idea, especially then 154 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,890 You know, yeah, you got to be able to take a step back and be like, uh-huh. Is this 155 00:08:37,890 --> 00:08:38,920 really working? 156 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,870 Yeah, it's this really what people want or am I just imposing my vision on everyone 157 00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:44,440 else totally food for thought 158 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:50,570 Meanwhile Sally's frantically trying to Sally to the rescue undo the mess. Yeah, 159 00:08:50,570 --> 00:08:52,120 she knows this whole thing's a disaster 160 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:57,360 Yeah, waiting to happen and is desperate to save both Santa and Jack. She sees the 161 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,240 big picture from the consequences 162 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:04,270 Yeah, she's trying to protect everyone right her bravery is admirable. Don't you 163 00:09:04,270 --> 00:09:04,720 think I do? 164 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,660 I do. I think she's one of my favorite characters. He's awesome. Yeah, she's facing 165 00:09:08,660 --> 00:09:10,140 some serious dangers 166 00:09:10,140 --> 00:09:15,220 Yeah, huh to try to set things, right? Yeah, but unfortunately her rescue attempt 167 00:09:15,220 --> 00:09:15,800 leads her 168 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:21,700 Oh, no right into the clutches of the villainous oogie-boogie poor Sally not oogie-boogie. 169 00:09:21,700 --> 00:09:22,720 She's the voice of reason 170 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:27,660 I wrote this whole ordeal and constantly gets ignored. Yeah classic and now she's 171 00:09:27,660 --> 00:09:29,220 in a truly terrifying situation 172 00:09:29,380 --> 00:09:32,640 Boogie-boogie is bad news. It highlights the importance of speaking up 173 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,340 It does even when your concerns aren't immediately acknowledged. What if people 174 00:09:36,340 --> 00:09:38,960 aren't listening right away Sally doesn't give up. No 175 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:44,020 She keeps fighting the good fight even when it seems like no one is listening. That's 176 00:09:44,020 --> 00:09:45,060 the key, right? 177 00:09:45,060 --> 00:09:48,830 Sometimes that persistence and so it makes a difference in the end. That's a good 178 00:09:48,830 --> 00:09:49,180 point 179 00:09:49,180 --> 00:09:53,960 You never know who you might be influencing right by just continuing to speak your 180 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,580 truth.
