The movie “The Last Castle” provides examples of good leadership and bad leadership. Colonel Winter‚ the warden of a military is the example of bad leadership‚ while General Irwin‚ a prisoner at Winter’s prison is an example of good leadership. The film illustrates that a leader does not have to have a technical leadership position to gain followers‚ and how two leaders who have differing viewpoints on leadership cannot exist in the same space without conflict. Henri Nouwen‚ in his book on leadership

This evidence suggests that human language is an innate ability that can develop even in the absence of any
