Movies can be such
compelling leadership stories in action. I find
that movies
and fiction can help me
develop
empathy
with and
deeper understanding of
others. They
allow me to enter deeply into awareness of
another
.

Some
of my favorite movies have lessons for leaders.
Some of the lessons are
best practices.
Some are cautionary tales about what not to do and
what
doesn

work. Here are some of my favorites:
有些
我喜欢的电影对于领导者们颇有裨益,
它们有的是最好的实践,
而有的则是告诉了我们
不该做什么以及做什么没有用的的警示故事。下面是一些我喜欢的
电影:
Apollo 13
Apollo
13
—
(1995, director: Ron
Howard). In 1970 NASA Mission Control works
feverishly to bring three astronauts
back to Earth alive after there is an
explosion aboard the Apollo 13
spacecraft on its journey to the moon.
A true
story about the
resourcefulness and creativity of a team under
pressure.
Jim Lovell (Tom
Hanks) leads the team of astronauts through the
crisis. The crucial line: When someone
in ground control says,
“
This could be
our greatest
failure
”
, the head of ground
control (Ed Harris) corrects him and
says,
“
I beg to
differ
. This could be our greatest
triumph.
”
A
gripping
re-creation of a
tragedy averted.
阿波罗

。
1970
年
,
当阿波罗
13
号飞船从月球返回时,
舱体发生了一次爆炸。
NASA
的地面
指挥中心为了把三位航天员安全带回地球忙开了锅。
这
是一个有
关团队在高压环境下表现出的急智和创造力的真实故事。
吉姆

洛弗尔
(汤姆

汉克
斯饰演)
在这场危机中领导了这个航天员团队。
最重要的一刻发生在:
当地面指挥部的一个
人说
:“这可能会使我们最大的失败”时,地面指挥部的首脑(艾德
-
哈里斯饰演)纠正了
他:
“恕我不能赞同。
< br>这可能会是我们最伟大的胜利。
”由此展开了一次惊心动魄的神奇逆
转。
Big
Big
—
(1988,
director: Penny Marshall). A 13-year old boy gets
his wish to grow
“
big
”
and is magically transformed into a 30-year-old
(Tom Hanks), but inside
he
’
s still a
teenager
. Now working in a toy company,
he attends a meeting
where managers
make uninspiring presentations about a new
product. As the
group is about to
approve it, Hanks asks:
“
Wha
t
’
s fun about
that?
”
The
lesson for business: Enable people to
be
authentic
and run meetings
which are not full of
groupthink.
(Groupthink is a concept
identified by
Irving Janus, where
groups tend to focus on harmony in a decision-
making
group, minimizing conflict and
reaching a consensus decision that is unrealistic
because they
haven
’
t made a critical
evaluation of different ideas or views.)
长大

。一个
13
岁的男孩心愿成真,在一夜间神奇地变成
了
30
岁的大叔(汤姆

汉
克斯饰演)
,但他的心智却还是
13
岁
的少年。当他在一个玩具厂工
作时,
他参加了一次会议,
会议上一位领导为一件新产品做着无趣的演讲。
当小组将要通过
提议的时候,汉克斯问道:“这有什么好玩的?”
这在商务上是个教训
:你应该让人们表
达真实想法,
避免让会议充满了集体思考。<
/p>
(集体思考这个概念由欧文
-
杰纳斯提出
,
指的是
集体总是关注于在做决策时保持集体的和谐,
减少冲突,
达到一致的意见。
然而这是不实际<
/p>
的,因为他们并没有对不同的想法和观点进行批判性的评估。

The
Candidate
The Candidate
—
(1972, director: Michael
Ritchie). A young California lawyer
(Robert Redford) is persuaded to run
for senator
. He struggles with whether
it
is more important to hold to
principles (but lose battles) or to influence and
persuade others (but be seen by some as
“
selling
out.
”
) In succeeding, he
alienates
supporters and is
vague about his real opinions.

。一位加利福尼亚的年轻律师(罗伯特

两者之间挣扎:是坚持原则,但输掉选举呢,还是冒着
被一些人视为“出卖自己”的后果
去游说别人呢。
最终,
他不但失去了支持者,
< br>自己也难以
认清自己真实的想法。
The Godfather
The
Godfather
—
(1972; Part II 1974; Part III 1990; director:
Francis Ford
Coppola). The immorality
of this trilogy lies in the depiction of mobsters
as
family men. Vito Corleone practices
a management approach of command and
control. He builds paternal
relationships. Sonny Corleone persistently employs
a win-lose war of total destruction in
which brute force is on his side. He builds
relationships based on raw power and
control. Michael Corleone attempts to
become a legitimate businessman. He
creates new market structures, going
global and acting like a multi-national
corporation, transforming the way
business is done. He builds
partnerships across diverse lines. In focusing on
tasks he loses important relationships.
Sonny and Michael pay an awful price for
power
.

Ikiru
Ikiru
—
(1952,
director: Akira Kurosawa; in Japanese). Ikiru
means
“
to
live.
”
A low-
level bureaucrat discovers he is dying of
cancer
. He searches for
relationships and meaning. This is
solemn, plain and everyday, but the realism
is acutely conveyed by the performance
of T
akashi Shimura and the empathy
of director Kurosawa. Absolutely
authentic.
生之欲
——(
1952
,导演:黑泽明)
。生之欲的含义是“活着”。一个低
级公务员发现他
身患癌症,时日无多。于是他开始追求爱情和生命的意义。这个话题严肃
、痛苦但又平常。
然而志村乔的表演和导演黑泽明的设计却将这种现实主义尖锐地表现了
出来。绝对真实。
