The Last Castle

Famed and decorated three-star General Irwin is sent to a maximum security military prison for disobeying an order that resulted in a very negative outcome. Colonel Winter, the prison warden admires Irwin prior to meeting him, but their values clash since Colonel Winter operates with suspect methods in order to maintain discipline in the prison. lthough General Irwin tries to avoid a leadership role, the un!ust treatment of the inmates cannot be ignored. s any good leader would, Irwin ta"es command of the situation. Use the outline below to record events in the movie that show evidence of both General Irwins and Colonel Winters leadership traits, motives, characteristics, behaviors, and style.
