IT’S AN AGE-OLD QUESTION: how do you develop and hone the skills you need to lead a team ?

You could enroll in a leadership course or buy technical books. Or, you could learn what you need to know from movies, television and comic books! Some of the best case studies and leadership qualities can be found in what we watch and read for fun. Join Lucas Chang, a Director at a large telecommunications company, as he delves into popular culture to uncover common-sense leadership principles. You’ll discover • how to be a visionary like Optimus Prime, who surrounds himself with Autobots who have a variety of skills; • how to boost leadership skills by using your imagination like Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes • what you can learn from the professional wrestlers who create public personas that are extensions of their personalities; • and many other case studies that teach valuable lessons, such as the Incredible Hulk, G.I. Joe, Star Wars, and others.
