Good Leadership Movies

These two films cover 90% of what you need to know: How to solve complex problems with a team, and how to persuade that team to follow your logic.

Ron Howard’s masterpiece is arguably the gold standard for crisis leadership. When an oxygen tank explodes on the way to the moon, flight director Gene Kranz (Ed Harris) utters the famous line: "I don’t care about what anything was designed to do. I care about what it can do." Successful leadership is the ability to reframe a problem using the resources you have left, not the resources you wish you had. Kranz unites a fractured team by focusing on the mission goal (survival) rather than the original plan. good leadership movies
