Good and Bad Managers
By: Nicole Olmedo
The Blues Brothers
- Aside from sheer good humor, Blues Brothers has to be on every entrepreneur’s list because Jake and Elroy are on a mission from on high. And if you truly believe in your startup when everyone else thinks you’re nuts, you are on a mission and you have a purpose, regardless of what is inspiring you. The best companies and causes have big, inspiring missions.
Slumdog Millionarie
- The Mumbai teen hero of Slumdog wins an opportunity to compete on the Indian TV version of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” He seizes the opportunity and despite arrest and torture, he pursues his dreams. Relentlessly! He wins the game, the money, and the girl. Being opportunistic is one of the key qualities of founders interviewed in How They Did It: Billion Dollar Insights from the Heart of America.
The Social Network
- Mark Zuckerberg, the 2010 film loosely outlines the events surrounding the creation of Facebook and subsequent rise of the social network. While arguably not a 100 percent accurate, the film does does grant the audience insight on the beginning of a company that changes the way we connect with each other.
Chef
- Starring Jon Favreau, Dustin Hoffman and Scar Jo (among others), this film follows a chef who loses his job as a result of refusing to compromise his creative integrity. He then starts a food truck and rides off into the sunset.There are both lessons on why you should avoid getting into a Twitter war with your critics as well as ways to successfully market your small business through posting rich content like videos and pictures that tell some sort of story.
bad managers darth vader (star wars)
- Vader is repeatedly shown to be an impatient and downright ruthless boss – as the black-clad cyborg mercilessly chokes any and all underlings that fail to meet his meticulous standards. What makes this even worse is that Vader doesn’t actually make any physical contact with his doomed employees, choosing instead to use the Force as a means of cutting off his victims’ air supply.

miranda priestly (the devils wears prada)
- isn’t a bad boss as much as she’s a fearsome boss, terrorizing and insulting the majority of her employees. although Miranda reserves the brunt of her scorn for her new assistant, Andy Sachs. More than being just verbally abusive, however, Miranda attempts to test Andy’s loyalty by sending her on a variety of near impossible missions. (For example, Miranda asks Andy to book her a flight during a hurricane.).
The Proposal
- The Boss: Margaret Tate. The Horribleness: Cold and pushy and used to getting what she wants, she might just ask extremely intimate and personal favours from you. Get In Their Good Books: If she’s attracted to you and it’s what she wants then you probably should marry her.
