![]() Just keep a proper perspective.I can hardly believe that a live-action remake of The Lion King is on the horizon in 2019. ![]() The 2019 version is not bad and there are some good lessons there. Shenzi said, “A hyena’s belly is never full.” “A true king’s power is his compassion.” -Queen Sarafina Mufasa said, “Simba, you must remember who you are: the one true king.”ġ9. A successful leader’s greatest asset is memory. Mufasa said to Simba, “As king, I was most proud of one thing - having you as my son.”ġ8. What should matter most to leaders is their families. Rafiki showed Simba a reflection of his face in the water and said, “Look closer. Leaders need to take a look in the mirror periodically. Timon said, “Everyone is a somebody, even a nobody.”ġ6. Your organization’s most appreciable asset is its people. Nala advised Simba, “Scar destroyed the pride lands. Everything rises and falls on leadership. Timon added, “Turn the ‘what’ into ‘so what’.”Īfter finding Simba and in hopes of having him return home, Nala said, “Simba, you have to take your place as king. When there is an absence of leadership, the void can be filled by anyone. Scar told the hyenas, “When I am king, the mighty will be able to take whatever they want.”ġ0. Leaders either serve others or serve themselves. I remember a cub-a certain headstrong cub who was always getting into scrapes-and he achieved some prominence. Zazu advised Mufasa, “Don’t be too hard on him, Sire. ![]() Leaders can’t put others in their place until they have first been in their place. Mufasa said, “I’m only brave when I have to be (and) I don’t have another choice.”Ĩ. Bravery is often birthed due to a lack of choices. Simba saw how small he was and how great his father was.ħ. When Simba saw Mufasa destroy the hyenas and then put his paw in his father’s paw, he was in awe of Mufasa’s power. Remember the first time you truly encounter God. Do not go where your father tells you not to.Ħ. This is similar to so many young people today. Like so many, Simba got out from under his father’s authority, advice, and protection and put himself in grave danger. However, Scar lied to Simba and made the location seem attractive. ![]() He knew hyenas lived there and danger existed. King Mufasa told Simba to stay out of the elephant graveyards. Let’s hope we never get attacked by a beetle.” Young Simba said to Scar while trying to kill a beetle. “While others search for what they can take, a true king searches for what he can give.”-Mufasa One day, the sun will set on my time here, and will rise with you as the new king.”ģ. But a king’s time as ruler rises and falls like the sun. Mufasa said, “Everything the light touches is our kingdom. All leadership is temporary, so steward it well while you have it. Scar said, “Life’s not fair is it my little friend? While some are born to feast, others spend their lives in the dark begging for scraps.”Ģ. The Lion King is a good movie with a timeless story and with a few leadership quotes and lessons: The CGI, cinematography, and sheer excellence which this film is made is mesmerizing. There is one thing I want to say about this movie. Young cub returns to take his rightful place and restore order.Įveryone lives happily ever after except the evil king who meets a horrific but just demise. Young cub grows up in exile while the kingdom suffers under the evil king’s rule. Patriarch of the family is killed by an evil family member desiring the throne. Everyone should have proper expectations. This is because of how high the bar has been set. I have heard that many The Lion King fans are underwhelmed by the latest version.
