About the book:

Quoting classic movie lines is a time-honored passage of growing up. Who among us hasn’t uttered excessive lines from Caddyshack while on the golf course? Or told someone they “couldn’t handle the truth?!” Many have examined leadership principles and traits from the aspect of rules, laws, habits, the military, motorcycles, and the Bible. However, Americans frequently look to the entertainment industry for leadership styles and personalities.

“Show Me The Money!”

“You Can’t Handle The Truth”

“What We’ve Got Here Is Failure To Communicate”

What do these quotes all have in common? They can inspire you to greater leadership! 

From Rhett Butler to Forrest Gump and yes, even Count Dracula—these leaders have taught generations how to overcome adversity and lead, usually accompanied by an entertaining quip or two. This book combines the American Film Institute’s top movie quotes of all time with common leadership traits. It’s designed to easily be used as a reference guide for meetings, speeches, and hopefully, inspiration.
