3 most important films for leaders and entrepreneurs.

Tjan claims the following films offer valuable entrepreneurial and leadership lessons for both managers and their teams:

* “Man on Wire” – the story of a man obsessed with the dream of walking a tightrope between the former World Trade twin towers

* “More than a Game” – follows the journey of a US basketball team from a poor neighbourhood as they climb the ladder of success

* “Slumdog Millionaire” – described as an Indian “Forrest Gump”, the film reveals the benefits of possessing boundless optimism

Re: Kevin's Case Study #3 - Promoting something you can't try Re: Kevin's Case Study #3 - Promoting something you can't try - You have a product that seems to be a breakthrough in the security industry. Not only will it help catch crooks, but it will definitely draw the attention of curious individuals. I would suggest that instead of youtube, video or actual demonstrations, or even acoustic tests, why not try product integration in hollywood shows or even films. It may look like cutting edge technology in shows like CSI or Heroes, draw a funny reaction of the victim in some comedy films, and a point of discussion in court room shows. People nowadays don't have time to go out to road shows or events, but never miss their favorite programs.
Re: Politeness! Re: Politeness! - The Scouts were probably nervous and very uncomfortable doing what they were being made to do, and that is understandable. I put the onus on the leaders to properly coach and encourage the attending Scouts to be properly appreciative towards contributors. I see this instance as a possible failing of the leaders. Perhaps the leaders would benefit from a letter offering friendly feedback? GT :-]
Re: Another Moderator Tip Re: Another Moderator Tip - Hi GT / Trent - great ideas. We run on phpbb3 so if there is a plugin you think we should install I can definitely look into it. It's also based on a MYSQL database so we can run queries against it (like we do for the recent forum posts, contest leaders, and all-time leaders across the top). If you can think of a report we can generate that would help then I can also look into it!
