Quotes And Leadership Lessons From DC League of Super-Pets

A Reel Leadership Article

My latest book, Reel Leadership, is now available on Amazon. If you love movies and leadership, you will love this book.

After Superman is captured, Krypto is forced to team up with superpowered shelter pets Ace (Kevin Hart), Merton (Natasha Lyonne), Chip (Diego Luna), and PB (Vanessa Bayer).
