THE FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX
     This Hartwick Classic Film Leadership Case® is based on the gripping adventure about the crash of a small plane and the arduous efforts of the survivors to reconstruct the wreckage and then fly it.  Observing this group as it faces what are clearly near-impossible odds as well as starvation and dehydration, students witness the struggle for leadership and the basis on which the characters vie for and receive leadership authority.  Of particular note is the apparent leader's unwillingness to serve as leader outside the plane and his need to be in control.  The case study stimulates a rich discussion about the behavior of leaders in groups and emergent leadership as a function of group dynamics.
