Imagine if you had the keys to real unlock people’s enthusiasm to lead? How much difference could you make?
We know that effective leaders can make a huge difference to organisations, and to individuals. But sadly, not everyone is enthused by becoming a better leader.
Leadership skills are not enough
I learned this on a major leadership development programme several years ago. Sitting in the conference room, I was struck by how managers focus on their ‘day job’. They weren’t thinking of becoming a better leader. We could deliver brilliant leadership skills training, but if we didn’t inspire people to change their behaviour, it would all be for nothing.
Where to find inspiration
Shortly after that event a friend asked me to help with a leadership conference they were developing. They used the Kouzes and Posner’s five leadership practices, and wanted to illustrate each practice in an entertaining way. Their solution? Movie scenes! But which ones to use?
Eventually we found some great scenes. The conference was a huge success. and I realised movies were the perfect vehicle for inspiring leaders. Why? Because they:
- Create interest and generate discussion
- Use stories, one of our most powerful vehicles for changing behaviour
- Illustrate different leadership behaviours in an entertaining way
- Feature some of history’s most iconic leaders, from Abraham Lincoln to Nelson Mandela, Gandhi to John F Kennedy and Winston Churchill. They also feature lesser-known but similarly inspiring leaders from different fields: Erin Gruwell from Freedom Writers, Ken Carter from Coach Carter, Billy Beane from Moneyball, and Leigh Anne Tuohy from The Blind Side.
It’s easy to find suggestions for movies that model some aspects of leadership. Just ask your friends or search the web and you’ll find lots of suggestions. But it’s often impractical to use full-length movies in a learning context. Short, self-contained scenes which role model specific leadership behaviour are far more effective.
You could spend many fruitless hours watching movies to try to find relevant scenes. But wouldn’t it be easier if that work had been done for you?
