Lessons for Leaders in a Sitcom World
Learning good leadership is difficult. Learning great leadership is hilarious.
Leadership is messy, and young leaders need firm anchors to face their new challenges. So what better place to learn those skills than leadership-challenged St. Foy’s College? Management Professor Cal Schuster gets plenty of opportunities to conduct his research and apply his theories to take on whatever comedic disasters befall the campus, accompanied by his eager-to-please and overly practical teaching assistant, Reeves. Surrounded by a cast of characters who don’t always behave how the textbooks predict, the professor confronts the complexities of leadership in a sitcom world where exaggeration enhances learning. This humorous look at leadership provides emerging and existing leaders with practical tips and memorable stories to help them navigate through their big and small challenges. Reeves and Schuster: Lessons for Leaders in a Sitcom World features five stories of leadership, each tackling a different critical skill area through Reeves and Schuster’s adventures. Each story is followed by an overview of a practical model, highlighting key perspectives and actions needed to master that leadership skill.
