Top 100 Bollywood Movies Of All Time: No.34 - "Airlift", 3 Leadership Lessons From The Movie

Airlift is a rare topic in Top 100 Bollywood Movies Of All Time to depict the raging war from Kuwait and stranded Indians’ repatriation to their promised hometown. The movie is another picture of the fierce reality of life and praises the courage of some extraordinary people.

Despite the action-packed storyline, Airlift soared on its merits and brought a weight of blustering emotions of mercy, generosity, and self-preservation from people to people. Bollywood and realism would not go along with each other, but they hold hands in the meaningful Airlift. After all, a heart still beats and a language conveyed that everyone could understand other than a digit to a human face.

Now we point out 3 lessons of leadership to learn from Airlift:

Sensitivity to others’ pain

Our sympathy to other people’s pain and compassion are from a firm level of sensitivity to one’s misery. This is a particularly must-have trait for a wonderful leader to be willing to stand in someone’s case and understand them.

In the movie, Akshay Kumar’s character showcases a tremendous number of the sensitivity of empathizing with the same suffering of more and more people as he and his family. A good leader’s primary mission is protecting his people including relieving them from pain. Therefore, with no short-cuts than a happy employee leading to pleasant customers, citizens’ happiness brings the happiness of the nation.

A Leader Never Quits

Akshay Kumar in Airlift sticks diligently to his tasks even when some failures happen, he does not succumb to any disappointments. He can be taken down for a short time but then he takes back the spirit to push himself up and returns to his mission.

As a great leader, there is no ‘surrender’ word in his dictionary because when he fails the mind, he also fails everything and conveys it to his employees. Because one of the best attributes for a leader is much-needed relentless perseverance.

A leader’s Prize is the Leadership

In Airlift, the protagonist makes an effort to draw flak regardless of unsettlement caused by some unpleasant attitudes. His wife discourages him, his friends mocks him and a certain character despises him, how worse it is!

It is like discreet to your kindness when the people around do not stand by you or even reply to how you treat them well. There is not any pot of gold at the end of the rainbow as the rainbow itself is the pot of gold. Leadership itself is its prize as well.

Airlift inspires many other meanings to the audience that deserves to be listed as one of Top 100 Bollywood Movies Of All Time. It is praiseworthy of a portrayal of an empathetic civil servant and from him, we can learn some lessons of leadership.
