Leadership Superpowers: Discovering and Mastering Yours

In case you haven’t noticed, we are in the middle of this year’s superhero movie releases. Three movies have been released through April, with 3 more on the horizon to be released before the end of the summer. These movies capture our imaginations and entertain us with ever-improving special effects and the time old story of good versus bad. One of the most interesting storylines is the hero’s origin story where they discover what superpowers they have and learn how to master or control them.

A Lesson in Leadership from the Grinch

You probably remember the story about how the Grinch stole Christmas. It’s a beloved children’s book by Dr. Seuss, an animated TV show and a couple of movie adaptations, including one out right now.

In the story the Grinch hates Christmas because of all the noise his neighbors, the Whos in Whoville, make each year when celebrating it. He thought that if he stole all their Christmas decorations, presents and food he could stop Christmas from coming. Unfortunately, he figured out too late that Christmas would come without all the trappings. The Whos celebrated just the same because Christmas doesn’t come from a store. He realized that, “Maybe Christmas…perhaps…means a little bit more!”
