This allows them to truly understand the beautiful, chaotic symphony that truly makes an organization work effectively. Good leaders of organizations walk the halls every day, make meaningful connections with their associates, and get their hands dirty. To know what is going on in a city – or a business – you need to experience it from the ground level. The same is true for just about every business entity: from a distance, everything looks peaceful, planned, and tranquil. "Anything is peaceful from one thousand, three hundred and fifty-three feet."įerris says this as he and his friends are on the observation deck of the Sears (now Willis) Tower in Chicago, looking down at the hustle and bustle of a busy city.
LIFE MOVES FAST FERRIS BUELLER MOVIE
Viewing the movie as an adult working in the branding and marketing world, these quotes take on a slightly different meaning:
Throughout the film, Ferris also shares some very profound thoughts about life. Throughout the movie, Ferris takes his friends on a few memorable adventures including watching a Cubs game at Wrigley Field, enjoying lunch at a posh Chicago restaurant, and singing “Twist and Shout” on a parade float. If you’re not familiar with this fine piece of cinema, the plot is as follows: A high school charmer is determined to have a day off from school despite the efforts of the principal to catch him in the act. The movie in question is Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. By the same token, I always like to not only see if I enjoyed it as much as I think I did as a child but if I can find any lessons that translate to the business world. I find it fascinating watching a favorite movie from my youth with my kids to see if it translates to their generation. After some cajoling, everyone agreed, and we decided to watch one of the movies of my youth. I suggested movie night – mainly because I wanted some popcorn sprinkled with some magical dry buffalo wing seasoning from the local spice shop, but I digress. A few weeks back my family had a rare weekend off from sporting events and everyone just wanted to chill.
