Building on your analogy, the movie 'Whiplash' shows how Fletcher, the jazz instructor, uses an iron-fisted approach that clashes with jazz's spirit of shared leadership and improvisation. His extreme control does drive excellence, but at a heavy cost. From both the film and your article, my takeaway is: effective leadership needs to align with the organization’s purpose and values, carefully balancing creativity and structure to achieve the right outcomes.
