1. Deodatta V. Shenai-Khatkhate:

   Excellent lessons on Situational Leadership are offered in a Hollywood Movie "Twelve O'Clock High" of 1949, starring Gregory Peck. In this movie, a tough-minded General (Geegory Peck) takes over a bomber unit with low morale, and transforms that unit into a star team with stellar performance. I learnt a great deal about Leadership from this movie - long before my MBA course on Leadership. You can see how a true Leader advances the followers beyond their normal limitations, over the course of their association, by first telling, then selling, followed by collaborating, and finally delegating the assignments. A true leader creates and nurtures many next-generation leaders; the lesson that I learned and have always followed successfully as a committed leader. Thanks to 'Twelve O'Clock High' for such wonderful lessons in Leadership.
