This course serves as an opportunity to explore leadership theories as reflected in films including movies, documentaries, and biographies. Film provides the mechanism for an in-depth exploration of various approaches to leadership including key terms and distinctions commonly used in the leadership literature. The course is more a leadership theory course framed by film than a film course that focuses on the subject of leadership. With Gary Yukl’s popular leadership textbook as a guide students will develop a working understanding of the trait, behavior, power-influence, situational and integrative approaches to leadership.
