Quotes And Leadership Lessons From Argylle

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.

Argylle is the latest film from director Matthew Vaughan and writer Jason Fuchs. Set in the world of Kingsman (do you remember the multiple movies from this franchise?), you’re in for a milder, tamer version of those films. 

Enter the world of Elly Conway (Bryce Dallas Howard), a reclusive author with a special knack for revealing real-world happenings in her novels. Her main character, Argylle (Henry Cavill), is a special agent. He’s had adventures in multiple books, but Elly’s soon-to-be-released book is missing something special. 

Man and woman standing on a building. Man dropping a gray cat.

Encouraged by her mother, Ruth (Catherine O’Hara), Elly begins to rewrite the ending of her latest book. It’s sure to be a major plot twist. One that may bring about the end of Argylle.  Read more...

Quotes And Leadership Lessons From Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem

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.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I went to see the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem movie. My mind wandered to “Oh great, another reboot… and the animation looks sloppy.” 

Other than my love for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, there wasn’t much desire to see this new film. Yet, I went because of Reel Leadership. I had to see the latest movie so I could share the leadership lessons found in the film.

I’m glad I did. This reboot was done well and shone as a great example of doing a reboot well.

Quotes And Leadership Lessons From Barbie – Barbenheimer Part 1

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.

This weekend is a huge one at the box office. Many moviegoers and critics are calling it the Barbenheimer weekend. What does Barbenheimer mean?

Two big movies are releasing. The first is Margot Robbie’s Barbie. The second is Christopher Nolan’s biography, Oppenheimer. 

Never fear Reel Leaders, you won’t have to choose whether to see one, the other, or both. We’re bringing you Reel Leadership lessons on both of these movies.

The first, Barbie.

Ryan Gossling as Ken and Margot Robbie as Barbie in the Barbie movie. Ken is holding a pair of yellow rollerblades.

Barbie surprised me. It’s a much deeper movie than one would suspect. It tackles subjects such as how we treat one another, our relationships with parents, and how we view ourselves.

It’s deep. And it’s good. It may be one of the funniest movies I’ve seen all year long as well.  Read more...

Today’s Reel Leadership article takes you back to 1980s… Well, not really but the movie featured in this article will. Bumblebee, the latest movie in the Transformers movie series, transports you back to the ’80s with an interesting story and fantastic visuals.

After 5 Michael Bay explosion fests, director Travis Knight, the director from Kubo And The Two Strings, gets things right. Bumblebee is the movie you and I, as Transformers fans, have longed for since the 1986 Transformers: The Movie premiered. The new Transformers Bumblebee is a prequel to the Michael Bay films.
