Today I’m sharing a bit of a rant (slash reflection) on all the media noise surrounding the Brisbane 2032 Olympics. Specifically, I wanted to unpack two things:The drama around not sticking to the original venue planThis idea that Brisbane is going to be an “international embarrassment”Here’s the thing: we need to be okay with plans evolving. The world is changing, and smart people pivot when new information lands. That’s not embarrassing — that’s smart leadership.And on the embarrassment front… come on. Do people really remember venue issues after the closing ceremony? No. If the water's clean-ish and the medals shine, we move on.I also share some thoughts on:Why estimating anything long-term is basically impossibleWhat we can learn from the way World Cups are hostedWhy we don’t need to be flashy — we just need to be functionalThis episode is a bit off-the-cuff, but I had to get it out of my head. Let me know your thoughts, especially if you’re in Australia and just as over the Olympic venue back-and-forth as I am.Sign up for free for my best articles every week: Work Fame.Show notes for every episode at https://podcast.leannehughes.comP.S.
