Harvey Keitel’s performance as Winston Wolfe in Pulp Fiction inspires me to be a better leader. It gives me courage to make stronger, faster decisions. It reminds me not to shy away from giving instruction when needed. (In times of crisis and turmoil people hunger for clear, sane direction.)
Winston Wolfe is the master of clean up. He is the consummate gentleman. He immediately sizes up the potentially disastrous situation, formulates a workable plan, and most importantly, provides calm, clear leadership to pull everyone together quickly and powerfully.
The Wolfe is on retainer. The people he works for understand his value.
He gets pleasure out of his ability to do what he does exceptionally well.
He takes his work seriously, and at the same time keeps his perspective and sense of humor.
Winston Wolfe is a master.
