Quotes And Leadership Lessons From Puss In Boots: The Last Wish

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

Puss In Boots: The Last Wish is the third entry in the Puss In Boots movie series that spawned from the Shrek movies. In The Last Wish, Puss In Boots (Antonio Banderas) is on his last life. He’d lost 8 others, and now Death (Wagner Moura) was coming for him.

Will Puss In Boots survive? Will the Death wolf capture and kill our beloved furry hero?

Puss In Boots: The Last Wish tells us the results. And opens us to a new world of adventure as the film closes.
