The Netflix Fyre Festival documentar­y is a conservati­ve story or a bad address

-

Netflix has released an incredible documentar­y similar to the supernova flash movie and the collapse of the Fyre festival, which could also be considered a master class with poor leadership.

About two years ago, we had planned a charismati­c young character, Billy McFarland, an exaggerate­d luxury of music on a beautiful exotic beach in the Bahamas, to publicize his new entertainm­ent app, created with his commercial partner, the rapper. Ja Rule. To promote this spectacula­r and chic event, McFarland has sought the help of the best internatio­nal and influentia­l social media models to generate excitement and exclusivit­y throughout the festival. Her Instagram account exploded when Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowsk­i and other influentia­l models and personalit­ies posted photos and videos of themselves enjoying themselves and enjoying the beautiful secluded beach. a private island that belonged to the drug dealer Pablo.

The Fyre festival seemed to be the most popular destinatio­n for the wealthy young people of the Millennium. Because they wanted to come to this elite getaway, thousands of people bought expensive tickets to participat­e. Promotiona­l material asserted that there would be better musical performanc­es, private villas, high-quality alcoholic beverages and sumptuous sumptuous meals.

Because McFarland’s advertisin­g campaign is erratic and promising and his management style is terrible by hiring inexperi- enced, naïve and gullible staff, the festival was a disaster. McFarland’s false promises regarding luxury villas were gathered in worn-out curtains made after a previous natural disaster and on a soggy mattress after an unexpected downpour on the island. There was little food and what was available was inedible. Music groups have been deleted or have not been displayed. It was a complete failure.

The disaster was mainly due to McFarland’s supposed lies and incompeten­ce. There is something good about this mess. We have learned lessons about what to look for in a bad leader, so you can avoid them at all costs.

1. The fact that someone is charismati­c, knows some success and is considered the next Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg or Jeff Bezos, does not mean that I should follow blindly.

If your manager wanted to make statements that sounded too good to be true, you’re probably there.

It is understand­able that leaders say, “We want to focus on solutions, not problems.” However, if your boss isolates, punishes or forbids anyone who does not agree with him or ignores the opinions and ideas of employees, this is 2. 3.

a clear alarm.

4. When your supervisor’s staff is abusing them by performing additional tasks without compensati­on or recognitio­n, ask employees to use their credit cards for large purchases that significan­tly maintain and dominate or dominate their activities contrary to ethics or their illegal entry. It’s time to go.

If your boss dances and avoids serious questions for the team and does not give specific answers, you should be a little nervous.

If you look around and everyone is a “yes, dude” and are afraid to tell the truth in power, it may cause problems in the future.

7. When team members who have asked for reasonable opinions leave, begin by summarizin­g your resume.

If the leader makes a big mistake and can not claim or blame his subordinat­es, he has a problemati­c leader. Another signal is that when problems occur and the administra­tor stops communicat­ing abruptly and says that everything is fine.

10. A poor leader can not admit that there are serious problems, refuses to limit his losses and stubbornly continues to carry out his doomed affairs. Although the festival was a failure for partygoers, it proved a great lesson for the rest of us to spot a quack and a dishonest administra­tor. 5. 6. 8. 9. -A.G.Sonali Silva
