Black Panther is a movie adaptation of the Marvel Comics character. The movie centres on T'Challa/Black Panther after he becomes King of Wakanda, following his father's death. His leadership is challenged by the appearance of Erik Stevens/Killmonger/N'Jadaka, who challenges the policies of Wakanda and their relationship to the rest of the world.

1. Apply deontological and teleological perspectives on ethics to the way T'Challa and N'Jadaka each choose to lead Wakanda and relate to the world at large. Using these frameworks can you consider them to be ethical leaders? Which perspective provides the most explanatory power for each leader? Explain with examples.

2. Compare and contrast the relationships that T'Challa has with Okoye, Shuri, and W'Kabi using Leader Member Exchange theory (LMX). Are these relationships similar? Different? Support your answer with examples.

3. M'Baku challenges T'Challa for King. Can this challenge (and his leadership of the Jabari tribe) be explained by what you learned about the dark side of power? Why or why not?

4. Apply Implicit Leadership Theory (ILT) and explain how the theory can be used (or not) to explain the leadership of M'Baku (leader of the Jabari tribe), Okoye (leader of the Dora Milaje), and T'Challa (King of Wakanda). Would they be considered prototypical leaders? Anti-prototypical leaders? Explain and justify your answer.

5. There are two broad perspectives on authentic leadership - the Walumbwa et al. model and the similar perspectives of Pfeffer and Ibarra. Use either of these perspectives to explain N'Jadaka's leadership? Why? Consider his leadership behaviour before and after he defeats T'Challa to become King of Wakanda.
