We are back with our fan favorite Oscar movie month. During the month of February each year, we look at Oscar-winning Best Pictures and consider the leadership lessons we glean from our viewing. This month we look at three: No Country for Old Men, The Sting and The Last Emperor. In this episode of 12 O’Clock High, a podcast on business leadership, Richard Lummis and I take at the 1973 Best Picture winning film, The Sting. Some of the highlights were: ·     Best Costume Design Oscar to Edith Head was key reason for the film’s success;·     How many red flags did Doyle Lonnegan miss involving Gondorff and Hooker?·     How did Marvin Hamlisch’s interpretation of Scott Joplin enhance the movie?·     The script was discovered in an agent’s ‘slush pile’ of unread scripts; and·     How can a leader use the talent and resources available to him or her to achieve a goal?
