21. Tunes of Glory
Year: 1960
Starring: Alec Guinness, John Mills, and Susannah York
Recommended by: Robert F. Bruner, dean of the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business
This is a story about a new commanding officer who takes charge of a military unit and fails to win the hearts and minds of his direct reports. Much of business education is about what one does on the job, but little about how to actually enter an assignment or leave it. How does a leader "take charge?" This movie raises a host of lessons about leading. It also offers rich insights about the psychology of managerial bullies. Dramatic kudos to Alec Guinness, who plays the bully.
