Les, do you have anything to add or-

No, I, I think those are, those are good.

Yeah, but, but just going back, going back to that point, you know, everybody wants to be ready to execute when, when it, when it, when the battle starts or when the mission starts.

But, but what we're talking about is we're saying that you gotta set the conditions, you gotta put in the reps, you gotta do the things intentionally for yourself, and that's what those first two target actions are about.

And first, really, yeah, really first two for sure are about so you're ready to deal with whatever the tough situations are before.

Because as you interact with people, it's preparing you for the easy times so you can prepare for the hard times.

It's just like exercise.

I was wondering, how does a leader do that under time pressure when a decision has to be made and not everyone agrees?

Les, you want to pick up with Target Action 3?

Yeah, let me back up a little bit to answer the question.

We use this metaphor of a target is because, as Susan said, we have to value what things we're doing, but we also have to be focused.

And if you think of a metaphor of a target and those first two that Susan said, know yourself and return to respect, you got to work on you first before you can even think about talking to other people.

And right, and then so know yourself, return to respect.

And then the third one would be to activate honesty.

You know, it's where the leader has to be truthful about what they know.

That's a great point.

So can you start off by giving us some backstory on the Hugo family? Who were they and what type of status did they have in 19th century French art circles?

Well, even before the musical Les Mis, they were famous.

Victor Hugo was kind of a self-made man.

At the age of 17, he wrote a poem.

It's a really bad poem.

I think it's called The Ode to the Duke d'Orléans, but it was to impress the king at the time.

which which worked and he got himself like a lifetime pension at the age of 17 so this would be in 1819 so he started to to become famous and and well known and he was you know he it was a kind of um bohemian sort of life um not what we would think of but it was it was outside the The constraints of a really formal society, he was kind of pushing the limits.
