What Is God Trying To Tell Leaders During A Crisis?

These are trying times. Your business may be shut down. You may be on unemployment or looking for a new employer. Or you may still have your position but it sure looks different.

Quotes And Leadership Lessons From Extraction

A Reel Leadership Article

In the last couple of Reel Leadership articles, I mentioned there haven’t been movie releases since the COVID-19 pandemic hit. I have to retract that statement. There have been movies released but they have been released on streaming platforms like Netflix, Disney+, etc…

Today’s Reel Leadership article comes from one of those newly released movies. Netflix released Extraction starring Chris Hemsworth (who played Thor in the Marvel movies) as Tyler Rake, Rudhraksh Jaiswal as Ovi Mahajan, Randeep Hooda as Sajum, and Golshifteh Farahani as Nik Khan.
