there’s LeBron James, star of the National Basketball Association’s Cleveland Cavaliers—and star of a new video screened at the Bloomberg Global Business Forum on Sept. 20.
With 300 guests, the invitation-only gathering of CEOs, heads of state, and other VIPs felt intimate by global forum standards, and security was tight. But now anyone can view the leadership pep talk that was piped into the ballroom at the Plaza Hotel as the event got underway.
The two-and-a-half-minute video covered a lot of bases, invoking a range of potentially calamitous situations from around the world and employing different motivational techniques to appeal to the audience’s conscience.
Pep-talk tactics

There was self-affirmation (from James: “You’re in this room for a reason—the same reason I’m talking to you—because we’re leaders. We all know the world needs us to step up.”) There was a sense of urgency (voiceovers from reports on riots in Venezuela and pictures of the breakaway of the Larsen C ice shelf in Antarctica). There were inspirational quotes and photographs of notable leaders including Steve Jobs, Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Meg Whitman, Malala Yousafzai, Elon Musk, and Ghengis Khan.
