Leadership lessons from Indiana Jones

Who would have thought that a rogue with a lone wolf reputation, known mostly for  thinking outside of the box, could also be a good leader?

• Take a group of folks with mixed skills and form a team.
• Give them a common goal.
• Let them solve it any way they can using the skills that work best for them, both individually and as a team.
• Provide the team with a leader that primarily removes obstacles until the team directs him to take action somewhere else.

This sounds like a recipe for Scrum, but it is actually the plot of every Indiana Jones movie.

Again, I watched the first three this week.

Last night, I watched the Last Crusade, and tonight, I'm be at the theater watching Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.

My Fedora and whip are in the car.
