1. Mulan Alisha Ripoll

2. A Brief Summary: A war breaks out and Mulan’s sick and old father is drafted into the Chinese Military. The military needs one male from each family but Mulan is a female making her technically unqualified to serve. She doesn’t want her father to go so she impersonates a man and joins the Military. Of course because this is Disney she falls in love during the course of the Movie. Typical.

3. Yin vs. Yang Leadership Yin  Mulan – Focused on the good of the Chinese Yang  Li Shang – wants the power of being the leader of the Military men  Shan-yu – wants to control the Chinese (also power)

4. Li Shang  Has followers – The whole Chinese Military  The men of the Military do everything he tells them to – explanation or not.  The leader of the Chinese Military  Transformational leader – Helps men get in better shape and shake their fears of the Huns.

5. Li Shang – Not a “good” leader  He didn’t ask to be a leader – his father expected him to be a leader.  “These boys are no more fit to be soldiers than you are to be Captain” – Chi Fu.  Wasn’t and isn’t prepared to be a leader.  Doing it for the wrong reasons.

6. Shan-yu  Good leader leading to a bad place/outcome  He wants to take over the Chinese Emperor and get rid of the Chinese Military.

7. Mulan  “Hero” – Takes her dads place in the Military because hes old and had a bad leg.  Kind of scatter brained and has no experience but goes for it anyway – Good leadership trait?  “uphold the family's honor”

8. Mulan - Transformation  She cuts off all of her hair and dresses like a man to be apart of the Military  “I’ll make a man out of you”  This is the beginning of her leadership “transformation”

10. Mulan – The First Battle  She takes control of the first battle between the Chinese and Shan-yu’s men  Defeats them and saves her fellow Military men's lives when Shang just wanted them to run away

11. Mulan – Resilience  “I don’t know if I can do this” – Doubt  Over came that doubt because she felt she had to honor her family and people needed her help.

12. Mushu – A small leader  Motivates Mulan when she is down after she was discovered as a female and told to go home.  He was supposed to bring her home but helps her keep going to overcome her fears and do what she set out to do (save the Emperor)

13. Mulan – Good leader leading to a good place?  She wants to do what's best for her family and doesn’t want her father to fight – she stepped up.  She over came some adversities and showed more leadership than the actual Chinese military leader.  Just wants to protect the Emperor and Chinese people.

14. Mulan – Transformational Leadership (literally)  Gets 3 of the Military men to “transform” into women so they can manipulate the guards and get to the kidnapped Emperor.  She also changed the Emperors and Li Shangs opinions on women in a leadership role.

15. Mulan – The kingdom  Once again she took control when the Emperor was kidnapped  “You stole your fathers armor, ran away from home, impersonated a soldier, dishonored the Chinese Army, destroyed my palace… AND.. Saved us all.”
