This will demonstrate the differences between an education and experience in business management

A while back, everyone seemed to be using "Apollo 13" in every meeting/seminar I went to.

Some great suggestions...

Unfortunately the rest of my group picked Braveheart. I think we can make it work, I ran out of time and don't watch many movies myself, so I was low on suggestions.

Wait. Please reconsider. This is a classic example of American management style.



The edited variations of this scene on YouTube are a riot.

The Gallant Hours- James Cagney playing Bull Halsey's decision making. The best monolog other than Swimming to Cambodia.

I've seen Hoosiers used in a few leadership classes.

Management ≠ Leadership

There is (and should be) a lot of overlap, but they are not the same thing.

"Management ≠ Leadership "

Good point.

Opening scene of "Godfather" probably demonstrates the most salient points of both.

I wasn't trying to infer they were. Just throwing out a movie suggestion. I'm well aware of the differences and walk the often murky gray line between them daily.

+1 on "12 o'clock high", used in all the AF war colleges (basic to advanced...SOS to AWC) as an illustration of leadership. Consider also "Scent of a Woman", great story on mentoring. Can also make an argument for "Jerry Maguire", building/investing in a business, managing clients, dealing with failure; there's the Oceans series (11, 12, 13), managing all phases of an operation, varied clients, employees with distinct personalities, and more importantly reaching a goal...even try, "The Producers," nothing but management techniques there...good and bad!
