Mutiny in the Band of Brothers: A juxtaposition of two leaders
leadership, followership, video cases, dissent, mutiny
This interactive session challenges management educators to develop pedagogy that will allow students to creatively apply leadership theory in the context of video-case analysis. Using the first episode of HBO’s Band of Brothers, we invite participants to exchange ideas and offer suggestions related to key leadership and OB concepts most relevant to the storyline. This episode offers a unique opportunity to examine contrasting, and clearly opposing, leadership styles. The ultimate goal is to identify the most relevant teaching topics that would drive home the importance of effective leadership and team development in times of uncertainty and change.
