This book takes a fresh look at leadership—through the prism of American cinema. Quoting classic movie lines is a time honored passage of growing up. Who among us hasn’t uttered excessive lines from Caddyshack while on the golf course? Or told someone they “couldn’t handle the truth?!” Many have examined leadership principles and traits from the aspect of rules, laws, habits, the military, motorcycles, and the Bible. However, Americans frequently look to the entertainment industry for leadership styles and personalities. From Rhett Butler to Forrest Gump and yes, even Count Dracula—these leaders have taught generations how to overcome adversity and lead, usually accompanied by an entertaining quip or two. This book combines the American Film Institute’s top movie quotes of all time with common leadership traits. It’s designed to easily be used as a reference guide for meetings, speeches, and, hopefully, inspiration.
