Do you know the Pixar movie “A Bug’s Life?”
Possibly not, because it didn’t have nearly the success that its predecessor, “Toy Story” did. It’s been labeled less polished, less relatable, and just not as good.
I disagree, however. I’ve always liked the movie better than “Toy Story.”
Because I think about leadership, individuals, and systems all the time. And this movie is 100% about leadership, individuals, and systems.
- Flik, the leader: Innovation, courage, a willingness to be wrong, and an ability to create a followership.
- The Circus Bugs: Each individual with their unique strengths adds up to a greater whole. 1 + 1 > 2
- The Colony: You want real, lasting change? Change the system.
Whether you stand at the front or sit in the back row, maybe give A Bug’s Life a whirl.
