This new series tells the story of how the iconic film The Godfather almost never got made: The Offer documents the 1970s tale of trying to get The Godfather off the page and onto the screen amid several hurdles such as the political environment at the time and financial pressures in Paramount studios. The 10-part series follows Albert S. Ruddy — The Godfather’s producer, portrayed by Miles Teller — as he fights the system to push the movie into production, all while holding on to a demeanor of grace and poise. Audiences of the show get to see everything unravel, from the first pitch of the movie, to the difficulties in convincing the production house that it would be worthwhile, and all the way to casting Marlon Brando and Al Pacino. It’s a humorous and dramatic take on the series of events that eventually led to one of the greatest works in American cinema history getting made. The Wall Street Journal is out with a review.

The tactics for great leadership and management: Roger Martin has a long career advising CEOs of large businesses on how to conduct themselves in front of shareholders and employees. In his new book, A New Way to Think, he puts all of these lessons on paper, making Forbes’ “10 Must-Read Career and Leadership Books For 2022” list. Martin argues that most executives stick to one “model” — a framework or way of thinking that guides their strategy and activities. However, in order to be successful, business leaders need to grasp the importance of customizing approaches based on the person or situation. He also delves into the entire breadth of the management landscape, looking at ways to build a strong corporate culture, a sustainable innovation process, and more.
