Movies can be effective tools for discussing concepts, ideas, and experiences about organizations and management. In this episode, we cover the 'instant' classic film WALL-E by Pixar Animation Studios and directed by Andrew Stanton. WALL-E is the story of a robot who at one time was part of a massive clean-up effort on Earth while all the humans left to live on cruise ships in space. We talk about the setting and the story for clues about organizational behavior and management. Along with the movie obvious commentary on consumerism, we talk about leadership, meaning of work, and many other topics. Join Tom, Pedro, Maikel and Ralph for a fun conversation!
