1. "There’s patterns in everything."-Sue Storm
In Reed and Sue’s first real meeting, Sue is listening to music. Reed doesn’t understand this. He acts as if listening to music is a waste of time.
Then he digs deeper. He asks Sue why she listens to music. For her, it was finding the patterns in music. She found it soothing and calming.
Sue brought out a great point. When we look at what’s happening around us, we can find patterns.
Whether it’s in the way people act or the way TV shows and movies play out, there are patterns all around us.
Effective leaders discover these patterns and find ways to use them to move people forward.
2. Find what helps you think-
When Sue Storm needed to think, she threw on a pair of headphones and rocked out to music. This helped her focus on the task at hand.
You’ll hear many leadership experts tell you what works. And it does, for them at least.
But what helps others think more clearly may not help you.
Try different methods for focusing your thoughts. It could be music or a run or reading or some other method.
Find what makes you, and use it.
隱形女俠是Dr Storm收養的青年科學家,有着卓越辨別模式的能力,
但性格內向,致使意外後,得到自我隱形的能力,以及能製造強大力場。
琦瑪拉 (Kate Mara) 是《龍紋身的女孩》朗妮瑪拉 (Rooney Mara) 的胞妹,
她在政治劇《紙牌屋》飾演為上位不擇手段的記者,表現尤其突出。
琦瑪拉認為隱形女俠和其他成員一樣,一開始並不喜歡這股神奇力量,
覺得自己並不正常,感到恐懼及被孤立,希望恢復到意外前的平凡生活。
3. "The failures of my generation are the opportunities of yours."-Franklin Storm
Every generation makes poor decisions. Franklin was willing to own up to this.
He knew those in his age bracket had made bad choices. Those bad choices resulted in failures that impacted generations to come.
However, he didn’t see them as complete failures. He saw the past mistakes as an opportunity for the next generation.
The leaders before you may have made mistakes. They may have led your organization in a direction they shouldn’t have. Or they may have had a moral failure.
Whatever it was, there were mistakes made. Don’t hold that against the previous leadership.
Rather, look at those past leadership failures as stepping stones for your leadership. Come behind them and clean up the mess. Use your new-found influence to correct the past.
4. It’s hard to recognize where you belong –
Early in the movie, we see Reed and Ben Grimm make a trip to The Baxter Building. This is where Reed was going to go to school and make a difference in the world.
Ben knew he didn’t belong there. He could, however, see that Reed was in his element at The Baxter Building. Reed wasn’t so sure, but he stuck around and flourished.
Sue also saw something similar with Johnny and his newfound skills. The ability to fly and zip around with great speed suited his personality well.
We’re much the same as Reed or Johnny when it comes to seeing our own strengths. We’re often blind to our own abilities.
Surround yourself with others who are willing to draw out your strengths. Find people who are willing to speak up and tell you what you’re good at.
5. Leading different people takes different communication skills -
Franklin Storm brought his son, Johnny Storm, onto the team. His role was to help build the teleportation machine that would bring them to another universe.
As Johnny walked into the laboratory, we hear Victor Von Doom make a snide comment about Johnny and his ability to take orders. Reed counters and approaches Johnny in a way that he was receptive of.
Johnny quickly got to work helping Reed and the rest of the team. This left Doom a little perplexed.
It’s easy to want to use the same communication style with everyone in your organization. It’s also easier, or so it seems.
However, we run into problems when we try to lead everyone in the same manner. You lead Millennials in a different way than you would a Boomer. The same way you wouldn’t lead a child in the same way as an adult.
They’re different. They require different communication skills.
(澄: Johnny needs TO BE NEEDED.)
6. Bring others along with you -
After Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Victor finished the teleporter, Reed called his buddy Ben to be one of the first to travel interdimensionally. He didn’t want to leave his friend behind.
Though their paths had deviated, Reed still held a special place for Ben. He was with him from the beginning. He wanted Ben to be with him at the end.
You’ll have many people come and go in your life. Some will be gone for good and others you’ll want around to celebrate with.
Don’t leave the important people in your life behind. Pull them up and alongside you when the time is right.
7."Stay here. We need an anchor."-Victor Von Doom
Victor convinced Reed and Johnny to take a ride on the teleportation device before the government could get their hands on it. After they arrive, they leave the safety of their teleportation pods and explore the landscape.
After awhile, they come to a cliff that looked extremely dangerous. Victor tells one of the guys to stay behind. They need an anchor to get them back up.
This brings the question: Who’s the anchor in your organization? Do you even have one? Should the anchor be you?
Sue Storm is not American, she was born in Kosovo, which may explain why she may have an aversion to the military. She has specialist skills in pattern recognition which see her beat Reed Richards' brain, tracking him down when he is on the run.

所以說,從來很注重劇情的我
到底為什麼會進電影院看美國英雄片呢?^^
這是秘密~ XD
人生太短,什麼都該試試看啊!
放開懷抱,放下成見,
多給不喜歡的人/事/物一次機會,
說不定會發現一些驚喜。
