In this episode of "Lead Out Loud," we introduce a new series for the podcast: Reel Leadership. In these special episodes, we’ll examine leadership principles through iconic movies and TV shows. Our focus today is on the legendary "I Love Lucy," where we explore its timeless portrayal of workplace dynamics and management challenges. Despite being a comedy from the 1950s, the scenarios it presents resonate deeply with contemporary issues in leadership and team management.

14:54 - "This was their fourth department... They couldn't handle it elsewhere, so we're going to move you over here."
26:10 - "It's a powerful call-out because it also shows, regardless of the type of work that you're doing, there are days, and maybe more than just days, maybe it's weeks, months, years, where people feel like they can't keep up with a conveyor belt, whatever the conveyor belt is."
The episode is available on Paramount Plus. The clip we discuss is here.
