The Impostor Syndrome Files
Leading Like a Human: Dismantling the Myth of Rational Leadership

The Impostor Syndrome Files

In this episode of the Impostor Syndrome Files, we're talking about one of the biggest blind spots in leadership today—the difference between leading from fear and leading with trust. So many of us were taught to prioritize logic, results, and control in the workplace. But the truth is, we're emotional beings, not rational machines. And when we ignore the emotional side of leadership, we unintentionally create environments where fear—not engagement—drives behavior. My guest this week is Thomas Gelmi, a global leadership expert who helps organizations strengthen what he calls “human skills”—the emotional intelligence and self-awareness needed to lead with empathy, humility, and trust. In this conversation, we talk about why so many leaders get promoted despite emotional blind spots, and how this disconnect impacts psychological safety, performance, and retention. We also explore the emotional cost of high pressure, what makes 360 feedback so powerful, and how leaders can begin shifting from fear-based habits to more confident, connected leadership. If you've ever wondered whether emotional intelligence really matters in the workplace, this episode makes the business case—loud and clear.About My GuestExecutive Coach Thomas Gelmi has been a trusted advisor to leaders and their teams for more than two decades. His programs, which have attracted roughly 10,000 participants from nearly 90 countries, reflect his adaptability and appeal across cultures and industries. Thomas works in four languages and his clients range from global corporations to SMEs and private individuals worldwide.Thomas draws on an extraordinary biography with exciting milestones, such as his many years as a Maître de Cabine, leading cabin crew at Swissair, and eight years as operations manager of an international leadership development company.

What are the common elements required to lead when you work with global or international teams? Because leadership is a social construct, it is influenced by social norms that drive how we define what a leader is, what characteristics we expect of them, and how we expect them to appear. However, there is one common element: all leaders must create a thriving environment for employees and by nature, there are some common elements across cultures that humans have. If you understand those, you can serve as a leader across many cultures. What are some essential human skills of leading across cultures? Why are human aspects important in the workplace and particularly in leadership? We'll explore these and more with our guest on this episode. ***ABOUT OUR GUEST:Thomas Gelmi has been a trusted advisor to leaders and their teams for more than two decades.

Charities in the MidWest are hailing a "game changing" funding boost from one of Clare's largest employers. To mark the 35th anniversary of Shannon Aerospace, diaspora of past and present employees are raising funds for vital local services ahead of a reunion event later this month. Shannon Aerospace was established by Lufthansa and Swissair in 1990 and the Aircraft Maintenance Company, which has employed over 3,000 people since then is now owned by Atlantic Aviation. Many of the former employees are now leaders in the aviation industry themseleves and as a way of giving back on their 35th anniversary, they've chosen to support five local charities and have smashed their initial target of €150,000. Organising Committee Chairperson and CEO of Shannon Technical Services Ben Whelan says the reunion is a chance to have fun and give back. John Lyons is PRO of Bunratty Marine Search and Rescue, which is one of beneficiaries and he says it's a gamechanger for their service. Shannon Aviation Museum, Pieta House, Limerick Suicide Watch and Milford Hospice are the other chosen charities. Milford Hospice plans to use the latest funds to upgrade their vehicle fleet and call-ball systems. Fundraising Manager Ann-Marie Hayes says such initiatives have also helped them to significantly improve their satellite hub in Ennis.

Im September 1963 kommt es zu einem der ersten Jet-Abstürze in Europa. Im kleinen Ort Dürrenäsch im schweizerischen Kanton Aargau verunglückt eine Caravelle der Swissair. Der Airliner war unterwegs von Zürich nach Genf, von aus er nach Rom weiterfliegen sollte. An Bord waren unter anderem 43 von 130 Einwohnern des kleinen Dorfes Humlikon bei Zürich. Beim Start am frühen Morgen in Zürich herrschte am dortigen Flughafen Kloten einmal dichter Nebel. Die Piloten wandten ein sehr ungewöhnliches, bei der Swissair damals aber übliches Verfahren an, um für freie Sicht auf der Startbahn zu sorgen. Wenige Minuten nach dem Start wurde die Caravelle manövierunfähig. Vom Boden aus war sogar eine Flamme zu sehen. Schließlich stürzte das Flugzeug in Dürrenäsch ab, alle 80 Insassen starben dabei. Die Flugforensiker sprechen in dieser Folge mit dem ehemaligen Swissair-Piloten Max Annen und mit Bruno Häfliger, der damals Wartungstechniker für die Caravelle in Kloten war. Außerdem stellen sie Auszüge des bewegenden Buches "S.O.S. in Dürrenäsch" der Schweizer Autorin Lotty Wohlwend vor. Bewegte Bilder von der Absturzstelle gibt es in einigen Berichten zum Beispiel auf YouTube. (*Disclaimer: Diese Folge ist ursprünglich als Bonusfolge für die Patrons und Apple Business Class Supporter/innen veröffentlicht worden.)

Dass Wolfsrudel abgeschossen werden, sorgt für hitzige Diskussionen. Nachdem der Kanton Graubünden die Abschüsse bereits gestoppt hat, dürfte nun auch der Kanton Wallis reagieren müssen. Verschiedene Naturschutzorganisationen die Abschussverfügung des Bundes gerichtlich überprüfen lassen. Weitere Themen: Eigentlich sollte es eine grosse Feier am Gipfeltreffen der Staats- und Regierungschefs in Genf zum 75. Geburtstag der UNO-Menschenrechtserklärung werden.

The History of Computing
SABRE and the Travel Global Distribution System

The History of Computing

Play Episode Listen Later Mar 16, 2023 19:16


Computing has totally changed how people buy and experience travel. That process seemed to start with sites that made it easy to book travel, but as with most things we experience in our modern lives, it actually began far sooner and moved down-market as generations of computing led to more consumer options for desktops, the internet, and the convergence of these technologies. Systems like SABRE did the original work to re-think travel - to take logic and rules out of the heads of booking and travel agents and put them into a digital medium. In so doing, they paved the way for future generations of technology and to this day retain a valuation of over $2 billion.   SABRE is short for Semi-Automated Business Research Environment. It's used to manage over a third of global travel, to the tune of over a quarter trillion US dollars a year. It's used by travel agencies and travel services to reserve car rentals, flights, hotel rooms, and tours. Since Sabre was released services like Amadeus and Travelport were created to give the world a Global Distribution System, or GDS.    Passenger air travel began when airlines ferrying passengers cropped up in 1914 but the big companies began in the 1920s, with KLM in 1919, Finnair in 1923, Delta in 1925, American Airlines and Ryan Air in 1926,  Pan American in 1927, and the list goes on. They grew quickly and by 1926 the Air Commerce Act led to a new department in the government called Air Commerce, which evolved into the FAA, or Federal Aviation Administration in the US. And each country, given the possible dangers these aircraft posed as they got bigger and loaded with more and more fuel, also had their own such departments. The aviation industry blossomed in the roaring 20s as people traveled and found romance and vacation. At the time, most airlines were somewhat regional and people found travel agents to help them along their journey to book travel, lodgings, and often food. The travel agent naturally took over air travel much as they'd handled sea travel before.  But there were dangers in traveling in those years between the two World Wars. Nazis rising to power in Germany, Mussolini in Italy, communist cleansings in Russia and China. Yet, a trip to the Great Pyramid of Giza could now be a week instead of months. Following World War II, there was a fracture in the world between Eastern and Western powers, or those who aligned with the former British empire and those who aligned with the former Russian empire, now known as the Soviet Union. Travel within the West exploded as those areas were usually safe and often happy to accept the US dollar. Commercial air travel boomed not just for the wealthy, but for all. People had their own phones now, and could look up a phone number in a phone book and call a travel agent.  The travel agents then spent hours trying to build the right travel package. That meant time on the phone with hotels and time on the phone with airlines. Airlines like American head. To hire larger and larger call centers of humans to help find flights. We didn't just read about Paris, we wanted to go. Wars had connected the world and now people wanted to visit the places they'd previously just seen in art books or read about in history books. But those call centers grew. A company like American Airlines couldn't handle all of its ticketing needs and the story goes that the CEO was sitting beside a seller from IBM when they came up with the idea of a computerized reservation system. And so SABRE was born in the 1950s, when American  Airlines agreed to develop a real-time computing platform. Here, we see people calling in and pressing buttons to run commands on computers. The tones weren't that different than a punch card, really. The system worked well enough for American that they decided to sell access to other firms. The computers used were based loosely after the IBM mainframes used in the SAGE missile air defense system. Here we see the commercial impacts of the AN/FSQ-7 the US government hired IBM to build as IBM added the transistorized options to the IBM 704 mainframe in 1955. That gave IBM the interactive computing technology that evolved into the 7000 series mainframes.  Now that IBM had the interactive technology, and a thorough study had been done to evaluate the costs and impacts of a new reservation system, American and IBM signed a contract to build the system in 1957. They went live to test reservation booking shortly thereafter. But it turns out there was a much bigger opportunity here. See, American and other airlines had paper processes to track how many people were on a flight and quickly find open seats for passengers, but it could take an hour or three to book tickets. This was fairly common before software ate the world. Everything from standing in line at the bank, booking dinner at a restaurant, reserving a rental car, booking hotel rooms, and the list goes on.  There were a lot of manual processes in the world - people weren't just going to punch holes in a card to program their own flight and wait for some drum storage to tell them if there was an available seat. That was the plan American initially had in 1952 with the Magnetronic Reservisor. That never worked out. American had grown to one of the largest airlines and knew the perils and costs of developing software and hardware like this. Their system cost $40 million in 1950s money to build with IBM. They also knew that as other airlines grew to accommodate more people flying around the world, that the more flights, the longer that hour or three took. So they should of course sell the solution they built to other airlines.  Thus, parlaying the SAGE name, famous as a Cold War shield against the nuclear winter, Sabre Corporation began. It was fairly simple at first, with a pair of IBM 7090 mainframes that could take over 80,000 calls a day in 1960. Some travel agents weren't fans of the new system, but those who embraced it found they could get more done in less time. Sabre sold reservation systems to airlines and soon expanded to become the largest data-processor in the world. Far better than the Reservisor would have been and now able to help bring the whole world into the age of jet airplane travel. That exploded to thousands of flights an hour in the 1960s and even turned over all booking to the computer. The system got busy and over the years IBM upgraded the computers to the S/360. They also began to lease systems to travel agencies in the 1970s after Max Hopper joined the company and began the plan to open up the platform as TWA had done with their PARS system. Then they went international, opened service bureaus in other cities (given that we once had to pay for a toll charge to call a number). And by the 1980s Sabre was how the travel agents booked flights. The 1980s brought easysabjre, so people could use their own computers to book flights and by then - and through to the modern era, a little over a third of all reservations are made on Sabre. By the mid-1980s, United had their own system called Apollo, Delta had one called Datas, and other airlines had their own as well. But SABRE could be made to be airline neutral. IBM had been involved with many American competitors, developing Deltamatic for Delta, PANAMAC for Pan Am, and other systems. But SABRE could be hooked to thee new online services for a whole new way to connect systems. One of these was CompuServe in 1980, then Prodigy's GEnie and AOL as we turned the corner into the 1990s. Then they started a site called Travelocity in 1996 which was later sold to Expedia.  In the meantime, they got serious competition, which eventually led to a slew of acquisitions to remain compeititve. The competition included Amadeus, Galileo International, and Worldspan on provider in the Travelport GDS. The first of them originated from United Airlines, and by 1987 was joined by Aer Lingus, Air Portugal, Alitalia, British Airways, KLM, Olympic, Sabena, and Swissair to create Galileo, which was then merged with the Apollo reservation system. The technology was acquired through a company called Videcom International, which initially started developing reservation software in 1972, shortly after the Apollo and Datas services went online. They focused on travel agents and branched out into reservation systems of all sorts in the 1980s. As other systems arose they provided an aggregation to them by connecting to Amadeus, Galileo, and Worldspan. Amadeus was created in 1987 to be a neutral GDS after the issues with Sabre directing reservations to American Airlines. That was through a consortium of Air France, Iberia, Lufthansa, and SAS. They acquired the assets of the bankrupt System One and they eventually added other travel options including hotels, cars rentals, travel insurance, and other amenities. They went public in 1999 just before Sabre did and then were also taken private just before Sabre was.  Worldspan was created in 1990 and the result of merging or interconnecting the systems of  Delta, Northwest Airlines, and TWA, which was then acquired by Travelport in 2007. By then, SABRE had their own programming languages. While the original Sabre languages were written in assembly, they wrote their own language on top of C and C++ called SabreTalk and later transitioned to standard REST endpoints. They also weren't a part of American any longer. There were too many problems with manipulating how flights were displayed to benefit American Airlines and they had to make a clean cut. Especially after Congress got involved in the 1980s and outlawed that type of bias for screen placement.  Now that they were a standalone company, Sabre went public then was taken private by private equity firms in 2007, and relisted on NASDAQ in 2014. Meanwhile, travel aggregators had figured out they could hook into the GDS systems and sell discount airfare without a percentage going to travel agents. Now that the GDS systems weren't a part of the airlines, they were able to put downward pressure on prices. Hotwire, which used Sabre and a couple of other systems, and TripAdvisor, which booked travel through Sabre and Amadeus, were created in 2000 and Microsoft launched Expedia in 1996, which had done well enough to get spun off into its own public company by 2000. Travelocity operated inside Sabre until sold, and so the airlines put together a site of their own that they called Orbitz, which in 2001 was the biggest e-commerce site to have ever launched. And out of the bursting of the dot com bubble came online travel bookings. Kayak came in 2004 Sabre later sold Travelocity to Expedia, which uses Sabre to book travel. That allowed Sabre to focus on providing the back end travel technology. They now do over $4 billion in revenue in their industry. American Express had handled travel for decades but also added flights and hotels to their site, integrating with Sabre and Amadeus as well.  Here, we see a classic paradigm in play. First the airlines moved their travel bookings from paper filing systems to isolated computer systems - what we'd call mainframes today. The airlines then rethink the paradigm and aggregate other information into a single system, or a system intermixed with other data. In short, they enriched the data. Then we expose those as APIs to further remove human labor and put systems on assembly lines. Sites hook into those and the GDS systems, as with many aggregators, get spun off into their own companies. The aggregated information then benefits consumers (in this case travelers) with more options and cheaper fares. This helps counteract the centralization of the market where airlines acquire other airlines but in some way also cheapen the experience. Gone are the days when a travel agent guides us through our budgets and helps us build a killer itinerary. But in a way that just makes travel much more adventurous.

19. februára 1982 priletelo do Zürichu vo večerných hodinách lietadlo spoločnosti Swissair z Londýna, o deň neskôr i z New Yorku. Na palubách oboch lietadiel sa nachádzalo viac než 18 ton československého menového zlata. Za prísnych bezpečnostných opatrení nasledovala jeho kontrola zástupcami Štátnej banky Československej, švajčiarskej banky a tzv. tripartitnej komisie. Naložené lietadlá opustili Zürich ešte v ten istý deň. Ako píše historik Slavomír Michálek vo vôbec prvej knihe, ktorá sa komplexne venuje tejto problematike, vrátením tohto pokladu sa skončilo jeho viac ako štyridsať ročné blúdenie; blúdenie, ktoré ilustruje dôležité momenty československých, slovenských ale do istej miery aj povojnových globálnych dejín. Na začiatku tohto dlhého príbehu bolo rozbitie Československa a okupácia českých krajín nacistickým Nemeckom. Jej výsledkom bolo aj násilné ukoristenie a odvezenie československého menového zlata. Na konci vojny ho v soľných baniach Merkers pri Aachene objavila americká okupačná armáda a takmer okamžite sa stalo súčasťou zložitých americko-československých hospodárskych a diplomatických vzťahov. Na pozadí tohto príbehu sa pritom odrážali aj jednotlivé kapitoly studenej vojny. Akým spôsobom a prečo vzniklo československé menové zlato? Ako do jeho príbehu zasiahla nacistická okupácia? Čo sa so zlatom dialo po ukončení druhej svetovej vojny? A prečo rokovania medzi v tom čase už komunistickým Československom a zástupcami západných krajín, najmä Spojených štátov, trvali tak dlho?

Bonjour et bienvenue dans le 120ème épisode de ce podcast ! Cette semaine, nous allons parler d'un sujet historique et plus particulièrement d'une compagnie aérienne désormais disparue : Swissair. Rubrique thématique Pour en parler avec nous, notre invité de la semaine est Jean-Paul. Jean-Paul a été employé par Swissair au sol pendant de nombreuses années. Il nous expliquera son parcours dans cette compagnie ayant commencé au plus jeune âge. Cela l'amènera à évoquer le parcours de son père qui y a également travaillé ainsi qu'à Air France au tout début de la mise en place de l'aviation commerciale. Ils nous expliquera l'évolution de Swissair dans les années 50 avec les mythiques DC-4 jusqu'aux Boeing 747 et aux tri-réacteurs DC10 et MD11. Cela nous permettra de passer en revue tout cet âge d'or où l'aviation était réservé à une élite ainsi qu'à son ouverture vers un public beaucoup plus large. Jean-Paul nous proposera de nombreuses anecdotes avec notamment son voyage en Super Constellation à New York, la mise en place de la première alliance entre compagnies ainsi que les évolutions techniques proposées par Swissair. On en viendra à parler du livre qu'il a écrit autour de l'histoire de cette compagnie légendaire aujourd'hui disparue. Il nous expliquera ce qui l'a motivé à écrire ce livre et à ce qui est inclus dedans. Vidéo de la semaine La vidéo de la semaine est une vidéo de la chaine Youtube de Ruesch Productions. Elle s'intitule “Zurich Airport Summer Time” et propose de très nombreuses vues prises sur l'aéroport de Zurich incluant donc de nombreux avions de Swiss mais aussi d'autres compagnies évoluant sur cet aéroport. Evidemment, il n'y a plus Swissair mais ce sont de bien belles images non moins. Lien vers la vidéo : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ov7WQJWKaVc Conclusion Ainsi se conclut donc le 120ème épisode.

In this experience we look at in-flight entertainment (IFE). What is its history, how has it evolved, and we share our experiences. People board a flight with the intent of being entertained while in flight. Vinod remembers back to his youth and seeing the projector as he boarded the plane – he knew there probably was a movie on a long flight. Geoff remembers watching in-flight edited movies as a kid. As they grew older, they would both look in the in-flight magazine to see what was playing. Airlines put a lot of investment into their IFE as a key factor to retain passengers. We go back to 1921(!) to learn about the first ever in-flight movie. Vinod and Geoff remember the stethoscope looking headsets. Vinod shares a memory of flying into Tampa where the flight ended before the movie (which was not a happy situation for one passenger in particular). The evolution of the IFE continued – monitors attached to the panel above and then LCD monitors that came down from the panel above. Vinod remembers the logistics of running the LCD system and keeping passengers from using certain overhead bins where everything was running. There was a shift into TV-on-demand with certain airlines. In certain cases it required that you put your credit card into the seat back to pay for extra movies or special channels. Vinod shares his memories of working at WestJet when they were switching from inflight TV to Wi-Fi and were renting tablets. Today many systems are Wi-Fi based. A common situation that Vinod encountered as flight crew was people coming on-board unprepared and completely dependent on the IFE. Pro-tip – make sure that you travel with some sort of offline tech. Vinod shares the "fun" he had when certain seats had IFE that didn't work. Remember when flying ultra low-cost carriers, there is a very good chance that you won't be getting any IFE, and sometimes you may be a captive audience to a performing in-flight crew. The amount of power and wiring for an IFE system famously led to a tragedy with Swissair 111 off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada. The 787 also saw runaway batteries when it first launched. Content is regionalized, with cultural sensitivities. Th quality of both video and audio entertainment has come a long way. There are also many different camera views that are now available on many aircraft. Video games are also an option in the IFE – with some airlines offering the controllers. Remember: Always bring something with you - because you never know when the system is not going to work.
