LEADERSHIP IN THE MOVIES or TELEVISION

We are a media driven culture!! Many of the images and expectations we have of “what a leader should be and do” we’ve learned from movies and/or television. For this assignment, you need to select a movie or television show. (I’ve provided a list of movies to get you thinking. You may select your own movie/show!) You may use something you’ve seen before or you may use this as an excuse to watch one you’ve never seen.
Watch your selection, and write a short summary. Once you’ve done that, you need to analyze the leadership component of the film. What leadership traits were evident? Was the leader effective? Was the leader ethical? Did the leader exhibit traits you wish to emulate? Do you feel the leader could have been just as effective using a different style of leadership? The paper should be at least 3-5 pages in length and have a minimum of 8 sources. You should follow APA guidelines for style and format.
You may use your own movie or television show OR you may select one of the following movies:
