In what way do you want your organization—your team—to lead in 2011? Here’s a great way to get them off on the right foot.

Rent the movie Invictus. It’s about Mandella’s recognition that he needed to unite South Africa and his use of the white national South African Soccer to do that. They went on to win the World Cup.

Lock the office door, shut off the phones, and show the movie to your team. After its over, sit around a table and talk about the movie, particularly it’s leadership themes. Simple ask your team to be on the look out for leadership threads in the movie.

You’ll be amazed at the inspiration and the lessons that come from Invictus. Learning them will help you to lead your tribe in the right direction in 2011.

You’re welcome.
