Recommendation

Professors Gordon Schmidt and Sy Islam pull leadership lessons from popular Marvel films – one of the most profitable franchises in history – and apply them to organizational practices. They break down how characters like Iron Man and T’Challa lead their teams. The authors hold up these Marvel characters as exemplars of sound leadership, while also pointing out the blunders they make so that you never do the same. Readers who are unfamiliar with the Marvel Comics Universe (MCU) might find the authors’ teaching paradigm a bit less thrilling, but fans will have a good time.

Take-Aways

  • The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), one of history’s most successful film franchises, offers numerous leadership lessons.
  • Select the right leaders and maintain a sturdy leadership pipeline.
  • Under the “shared leadership” principle, the person designated to lead the team can change depending on the circumstances.
