The Godfather is a academy award winning
(except part iii) American crime movie
trilogy, based on Mario Puzo’s ‘’The
Godfather’’ novel. This movie may be used
as a valuable tool to inspire and assist
management . The movie contains many
valuable management skills such as:
An offer you can’t refuse
Making an offer in a powerfully irresistible way
is a valuable lesson from the movie. This is
when Johnny Fontane asks his Godfather for
assistance entering the movie business. When
the movie executive refuses to allow Fontane
into the movie business, he wakes up the next
morning to the severed head of his prized
horse. This allows Fontane to get into the movie
business and shows the importance of knowing
both the strengths and the weaknesses of your
competitors and putting them into position
where you offer is so powerful it cannot be
refused.
Always have a
structure
The importance of structure is
evident in the movie and is
seen within the organizational
structure of each family. Every
family has a leader or Don who
delegates tasks to their various
family members. This is a
valuable lesson for managers
as it shows the importance of
team structuring and the use
of delegation to complete
tasks.
Know your competitors
The importance of understanding your competitors and
the role of observance is evident from the movie. It is
vital to understand your competitors to gain a valuable
insight into the market place you trade within. This is
seen in the movie when Corleone observed the power
dynamics in the other mafia families and ordered hits on
each family.
Don’t get emotional
In The Godfather movie, a major lesson is
not to let emotion dictate your actions.
This is seen in the movie when Sonny
Carolene acts in a emotional manner for
his own personal vengeance. A powerful
quote from the movie is: it’s not personal
Sonny. It’s just business’. This highlights
the importance of carrying out decisions
in a rational, well- thought out manner. It
also shows the importance of not
allowing a team member to carry out
actions which can be destructive or
damaging to a given business.
Trust your
judgment
Mangers are required to make
decisions, decision making can be
challenging but it is important to trust
your judgment and follow through with
this judgment. An example of this is
