Spirit Airlines has rejected Frontier Group’s acquisition offer, worth about $2.16 billion, saying the bid from its fellow ultra-low-cost carrier was less beneficial to shareholders than its ongoing reorganization plan. Frontier’s offer was a reiteration of its proposal from earlier this month in which it proposed Spirit’s shareholders would get $400 million in debt and a 19% stake in Frontier. The two companies had been in merger talks since at least 2022, before Spirit filed for bankruptcy protection last year due to prolonged periods of financial losses and a substantial debt load. https://cnn.it/3EKcDw4

Have you ever dreamed of running the length of Africa? How about summiting Mount Everest three times in less than two weeks? Endurance athletes often seem like they have “a whole different wiring system,” Outside magazine columnist and ultrarunner Brendan Leonard tells CNN Sport. “A lot of us go through life being afraid to fail at things, especially as we get older. We don’t want to fail, and we don’t want to be bad at something. And these people, they’re okay with possibly failing, swinging big and maybe missing. But the reason we’re writing stories about them now is because they didn’t miss – they actually did it,” he adds. The desire to push our limits, no matter the size of the challenge, is one most people can relate to. Still, not everyone will go on to surf the biggest wave, become the first African cyclist to win a Tour de France stage, or be the first woman to complete the Barkley Marathons. “I think everyone understands the motivation of just finding something that you think can’t be done or a person that you think you can’t beat, and then chasing them,” Leonard, author of “Ultra Something,” explains. “As to what’s universal about pushing limits, I think we’re all curious, right?” We're recapping some of the greatest feats in endurance sports from 2024. (And who knows – if you set yourself a challenge, CNN might be writing about you next year.) https://cnn.it/3ZV1JKP

A couple of months ago, I read a post on LinkedIn from Chelene Pedro about a CEO who was very nasty and disrespectful to one of his managers. The guy shouted so loudly that everyone down the corridor knew he didn’t like the font size. The manager left the CEO’s office and returned with a handwritten resignation letter dated “effective immediately.” Can you blame him? How on God’s green earth do you expect anyone to function in that type of environment? I am 100% sure this manager is not the first employee to face that type of abuse from that CEO. This story really stuck with me, and I can understand why 70% of managers fail to become leaders. The renowned leadership expert Warren Bennis, who authored 30 leadership books, including one of my favorites, On Becoming a Leader, indicated that: ? “a leader is not simply someone who experiences the personal exhilaration of being in charge. Instead, a leader is someone whose actions have the most profound consequences on other people’s lives, for better or for worse, sometimes forever and ever.” ? When you are responsible for managing and leading people, you have an opportunity to make a profound impact on your team, but it’s up to you as the leader to recognize that your team is the organization’s most valuable resource. As a leader, you have an incredible opportunity to change someone’s life every single day. ? It could be something as simple as saying hello, writing a handwritten note stating you did an excellent job today or remembering your employees’ names when greeting them. Some leaders take these things for granted, but believe me; your employees will feel valued. Leadership is all about people; the little things make a huge difference, and the organizations that get it are the ones that ultimately succeed. ? Always remember that leadership is never about tearing people down and making people feel less than themselves. Instead, leadership is about people and inspiring people to believe that the impossible is possible. #theinspirationalleader #leadershipfirst #giffordthomas #management #leadership Available on Amazon.
