thanks stephanie! great thoughts. I definitely think hoosiers has tons of these themes as I think about it. That hadn’t been on my radar. I haven’t seen Anna and the King in a very long time so I’ll have to check it out again. As I think about Hoosiers – it makes me think of another Gene Hackman movie – Mississippi Burning, which depicts many of these dynamics as well.

Hey Brian,Two movies that come to mind are “Hoosiers” and “Anna and the King”. I’m newer to your blog, so I’m just getting my head around your systems/leadership thoughts, but I think this is the kind of thing you’re talking about. Both of these movies also touch on the issue mentioned in one of your recent posts about leaders defining themselves–both the coach and the king must struggle to do this.I love utilizing movies to teach! When Scott and I were MTLs we would have “movie times” with our team where we would watch things like “Apollo 13″ and Wayne’s World 2″ to learn about problem-solving, or “Braveheart” and a Picard-centric “Star Trek: The Next Generation” episode to look at leadership. Actually, Scott and I believe you can find a “TNG” episode to fit any leadership topic. I continue to really enjoy your blog…Stephanie
