Toastmasters International’s Post

Siya Kolisi's autobiography: "The other area which I could have handled better was handling of the referee Garces. My opposite number, Kieran Read from the All Blacks, handled him much better. Going forward, I would need to make sure I handled the referees at least as well as the other team's captain." The Springboks lost that game in 2019. But the captain learned, and improved, and we won the World Cup. History would show how Rassie Erasmus would enable the resources and framework for Siya to eventually excel in his particular accountability in the team. In 2023, he handled the refs better than any other captain. And the 50/50 calls, this time, went our way. Do we, as leaders, enable our team members to excel at their core responsibilities? And do we do the work to do all the incremental improvements that stack up? #selfawareness #accountability

Imagine you have two events, A and B, occurring in a vast universe of possibilities. In this universe, the occurrence of A doesn't sway the likelihood of B happening and vice versa. This lack of influence defines the independence between these events. Thus, in the dance of probabilities, A and B move to their own rhythms, untouched by the steps of the other. This harmony is the essence of independent events, creating a symphony of certainty in the realm of chance.Consider the Semi-Finals of Euro 2024: if France wins the 1st Semifinal, it doesn’t mean the Netherlands will win the 2nd Semifinal, nor does Spain’s win in the 1st Semifinal imply England will win the 2nd Semifinal. Two semifinals are independent if the outcome of one doesn’t affect the outcome of the other.More precisely, if there are two candidates in an election, and if Q loses, then P must win, and if Q wins, then P is considered lost. This scenario is not an example of independent probability. In essence, true independence means each event unfolds its own story, unaffected by the tale of the other, weaving a tapestry of probability that is both intricate and beautifully unpredictable.
