Volume 16: 2023, pp. 215-234; ABSTRACT
This classroom exercise uses the documentary American Experience - The Boys of ‘36 to integrate management
concepts involving motivation, leadership, group development, and teamwork concepts. For perspective, an
explicit integration of the three topics is seldom addressed in most textbooks. This exercise is appropriate
for both undergraduate and graduate classes in management principles, leadership, and organizational behavior.
It can be completed in a 60 or 90-minute class. Student feedback is very positive.
Keywords: film, motivation, leadership, teamwork.
