Reel Leadership (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781637307007)

Movies are not a waste of time if you're intentional about watching the movie you're viewing.

Reel Leadership speaks to leaders and movie lovers who want to look at leadership and personal development in a new way. Author Joseph Lalonde wants leaders to enjoy entertainment without feeling guilty.

When he began his own personal development journey, Lalonde discovered how leadership gurus try to dissuade people from enjoying regular forms of entertainment because they see it as a waste of time. He fell in line and believed this lie; that entertainment, especially movies, held no real value. Over time, he realized each movie provides a story with a moral premise or leadership lesson.

In this book, you'll read about:

• David Hayter (the writer of X-Men 1 and 2) and how he dealt with a demanding director on set.
• Daniel Knudsen and how every great movie should have a moral premise.
• Marty Himmel and how he overcame fear because of the movies he watched.

Through Reel Leadership, you'll discover how movies provide more than just a quick escape. They are powerful tools for communicating leadership principles and how to find their leadership lessons.
