#ABDUWALI MUSE MOVIE#
Captain Phillips shows as selfless putting himself in danger, emphasizing throughout the movie to take him instead of the crew. Responsibility – this leadership quality is expressed in different ways.Muse is accountable to elders, while Captain Phillips is an employer of the cargo company. Accountability – both leaders are accountable to someone else.
Muse refuses to listen his crew when suggesting to go back, an advice which would save their lives, and Phillips did not listen Quinn’s suggestion to leave after first day of failed attack. Listening – both captains fail to in active listening skills, generally considered one of the most important skill leader should poses.Muse, however, responds with gusto: “What are you doing? Where are you going? Come on! Keep going!” His gusto keeps the small group of bandits moving forward. After the pirates hear Phillips making a call for armed backup (with no idea that the call is a bluff), they begin to turn around. Muse demonstrates the same steadfast commitment to his mission: targeting the Maersk Alabama – even with the threat of military intervention. Captain Phillips refuses to be deterred from the mission of delivering supplies despite multiple warnings of pirate attacks in the route. Risk-taking – both captain show this leadership quality.I can’t go back now.”Ĭonsidering their differences and similarities, we can take out eight main lessons from these two leaders: Muse refuses to surrender, even though it is the only reasonable scenario, saying fatalistically “I’ve gone too far now. Muse is irresponsible jeopardizing the lives of his crew, which is especially visible towards the end of the movie, when confronted with action of the U.S. In other words a pure example of an autocratic leader. Pirate captain Muse is just the opposite – inadequate for the job, selfish, cruel and determined in fulfilling his aim, no matter of consequences. The leadership lessons learned stem from the films two leaders – both of whom are protagonists in their own minds – Captain Richard Phillips and Abduwali Muse.Īt the very beginning of the movie Captain Phillips shows himself as a competent, responsible, selfless, servant leader who, when attacked by the pirates, puts himself in danger in order to save the crew members.
The movie, presents their interplay, and exposes similarities and differences in their leadership style. The Oscar nominated movie “ Captain Phillips”, based on a true story of the hijacking the cargo ship Maersk Alabama by four Somali pirates off the coast of SE Africa in 2009, tells the story about two leaders Captain Phillips (played by Academy award winner Tom Hanks) and Somali pirate captain Abduwali Muse (played by rising star Barkhad Abdi).
