Teaching Leadership: Using "Wonder Woman" to Highlight the Importance of Gender Diversity
Urick, Michael J.; Sprinkle, Therese A.
Management Teaching Review, v4 n2 p173-181 Jun 2019
We review the film "Wonder Woman" as a teaching tool for leadership. The film illustrates transformational leadership, bases of power, and servant leadership while considering how gender plays into leadership. The approach we suggest is through a "movie club" activity in which the entire film is viewed, students are given prompts on what to look for, and an in-depth discussion is facilitated following viewing the movie. "Wonder Woman" is a useful teaching tool that engages students in ways that more traditional examples might not.
