12 O’Clock High, an award-winning podcast on business leadership, brings together stories from history, the arts, sports and movies, research, and current events to consider leadership lessons. Tom and Richard Lummis return with their fan-favorite series on leadership lessons from Oscar-winning Best Picture movies. Today, we look at leadership lessons from ‘All Quiet on the Western Front.’ Their discussion centers on the graphic depictions of war and how they provide insights into extreme leadership, adaptability, and the disconnect between officers and soldiers. They explore the themes of teamwork and human resilience demonstrated by the characters, especially in challenging situations. A poignant exploration of emotional intelligence and empathy in high-stress environments is also examined, relating these themes to the business world and modern leadership challenges. Join Richard and Tom as they reflect on how these lessons from a nearly century-old text are still relevant today in navigating uncertainty and building resilient frameworks in corporate compliance.

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
