Deena,
Thank you for your post. I appreciated your selection of movies including Star Wars and the Dead Poet Society. I had not considered these movies when developing my own list, though I can see why you chose them. The Dead Poets Society is a great movie. In many ways it demonstrates the same leadership principles as one of the movies in my own list, Good Will Hunting. In both movies, teachers motivate their students to pursue more than they thought they could achieve. In your post, you indicated that Keating, “utilized the principles of situational leadership by instilling intrinsic motivation”(Stewart-Hitzke, 2015, para.4). Northouse (2013) provides an analysis of Path–goal theory, which in many ways is similar to Situational Leadership.
