Love the topic Jennifer!

There are some great classics listed in the post, but I'm going to drift a touch left of center and mention the most recent movie that exhibited a number of great leadership qualities...Despicable Me. Yes, the animated movie. I actually wrote a blog post detailing 5 leadership lessons from the movie.

1. Nothing of any magnitude or of any great significance can be accomplished alone.
2. You will always have someone who is trying to do something similar; leverage that.
3. At some point in your leadership you will be forced to make a decision between what is right and what is a “part of your plan”.
4. When you stop using people as a tool to complete a task and begin to appreciate them for who they are, amazing things happen.
5. When you give to others, what you receive in return is absolutely incredible.
