DEAD POETS SOCIETY
     In this Hartwick Classic Film Leadership Case®, a newly-appointed teacher inspires a love of poetry and intellectual freedom among his young students at a strict New England prep school.  In the process, however, he encounters the profound resistance of his teaching colleagues and administrators.  Students have the opportunity to grasp how difficult it is to bring change about in entrenched organizations, and, in addition, are encouraged to focus on alternative ways in which that change might be implemented.  Even more profound is the question of whether or not the change he attempts will be good for the organization.  The case study also dramatically portrays the differences between transactional and transformational leadership as well as autocratic versus democratic leadership styles.

 
Topics Include: Empowerment, Mentoring, Power/Authority, Motivation, Charisma

Theories Covered: Charismatic Leadership, Social Learning Theory, Transactional and
