If you enjoy this article, you\u2019ll love my book Reel Leadership. It\u2019s available\u00a0on Amazon<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sometimes, you have to start from the end. That\u2019s where I want to start with Spider-Man: Brand New Day. As the film nears its dramatic conclusion and the credits begin to roll, an almost sold-out theater broke out in cheers and applause. Mind you, there were no live actors there. The applause was for the film itself.<\/p>\n

I believe Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a> is\u00a0THAT\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>good.<\/p>\n

In Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the story continues from the previous Spider-Man film, Spider-Man: No Way Home<\/a>. In it, Peter Parker\/Spider-Man (Tom Holland) asks Dr. Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to cast a worldwide spell to erase the memory of Peter Parker from every person. The spell worked and Peter Parker\u2019s legacy was erased from the world. He now lives as Spider-Man full-time.<\/p>\n

\"Spider-Man<\/a><\/p>\n

And he\u2019s struggling with his new reality. He misses his friends, MJ (Zendaya and Ned Leeds (Jacob Batalon). He has had to solely focus on his role as Spider-Man for the past 4 years.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s taken its toll. He\u2019s at a breaking point.<\/p>\n

But a new deadly threat has appeared. He\u2019s also going through another physical change.<\/p>\n

What does that mean for you, the viewer? There are plenty of leadership lessons in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Let\u2019s get to them.<\/p>\n

1. Peter Parker:<\/h3>\n
\n

You don\u2019t remember me\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The film opens with Peter Parker doing a monologue. He is trying to piece together what to say to his former girlfriend, MJ.<\/p>\n

One of the phrases out of his mouth was \u201cYou don\u2019t remember me\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the thing: people don\u2019t need to remember you for you to have had a major impact on them. You can be a part of their life for a season, leave, and they\u2019ll forget you.<\/p>\n

What they won\u2019t forget is the impact you had on their lives<\/a>. How you cared. How you molded them into the person they\u2019ve become.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s okay to be forgotten. Still, make an impact.<\/p>\n

2. Peter Parker:<\/h3>\n
\n

Sometimes, Spider-Man has to do the hard things, even when it breaks Peter Parker\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Peter chose to do the hardest thing in his life. He chose to have everyone, including his loved ones, forget him. He did this to protect them.<\/p>\n

His choice wasn\u2019t easy. It was the hardest decision he ever made. But he made it because it was what he believed to be right.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re going to have to make hard choices as a leader. They\u2019re not going to reflect who you are as a person. They\u2019re a part of the leadership gig.<\/p>\n

Be ready to make hard choices that may break your heart. It\u2019s not easy, but leadership isn\u2019t easy.<\/p>\n

3. Remind yourself of what\u2019s important:<\/h3>\n

We see Peter\u2019s room. It\u2019s a mess. But there\u2019s something important on a noteboard.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a note. The note states:<\/p>\n

\n

Great Power<\/p>\n

Great Responsibility<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s a take on the ages-old saying of Uncle Ben in the comics. However, it was Aunt May (Marisa Tomei) who said it in this Spider-Verse.<\/p>\n

Peter needed to be reminded<\/a> that while he has great power, he also has great responsibility.<\/p>\n

I think we could all stick a note on our wall that says the same thing. We need to be reminded that we\u2019ve been given great power in our position. With that great power also comes great responsibility.<\/p>\n

Use your power responsibly.<\/p>\n

4. Ask the important question:<\/h3>\n

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is packed with villains we haven\u2019t seen on the big screen. There\u2019s Tombstone (Marvin Jones III), Ramrod (Billy Clements), Boomerang, and Tarantula. Then there are the major villains: Mac Gargon\/Scorpion (Michael Mando) and the Uncanny X-Man Jean Grey (Sadie Sink). Though this Jean Grey isn\u2019t part of the X-Men. She still has the powers of Jean Grey.<\/p>\n

She can mind-control people. In Spider-Man: Brand New Day, we see her power used to jump from one person to another. It was impressive.<\/p>\n

At one point, Jean Grey controlled Mac Gargon to try to access Damage Control facilities. Then, she used an old grandmother to drive a tank into another one of their facilities.<\/p>\n

As Spider-Man is pursuing her jumps, he doesn\u2019t ask what was in the tank. Jean Grey tells him that he failed to ask the important question: What\u2019s inside the tank?<\/p>\n

There was a bomb. He was now too far away to deal with it.<\/p>\n

We think we know the questions to ask. Yet, we also miss important questions.<\/p>\n

Some important questions to ask your team members<\/a> are:<\/p>\n
