In addition to being a fantasic film, "300" is also an interesting study of two very different management styles:
[ Leonidas ]
- Hands-on manager (got awesome sparta muscles to show off)
- Inspires results from his troops
- Lead-by-example
[ Xerxes ]
- Hands-off manager (can't ruin the battlefield bling bling)
- Demands results from his generals (by either showering them with great rewards, or chopping their heads off)
- Lead-by-aura
Which strategy is more effective in different situations?
