Getting good at pretending.
Watch Catch Me If You Can | Netflix
An FBI agent makes it his mission to put cunning con man Frank Abagnale Jr. behind bars. But Frank not only eludes capture, he revels in the pursuit.
When we see the above image from the movie, "Catch Me If You Can", we may guess that it is the story of an airline captain.
But it's not. It's a shot from a scene where the character, Frank Abagnale Jr., is pretending to be a captain.
But, the rabbit hole goes deeper. It's also a shot of the actor Leonardo DiCaprio pretending to be the character Frank Abagnale Jr.
And, of course, it doesn't stop here too. Because it is also a shot of the person Leonardo DiCaprio pretending to be the actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
The joke is that we believe all of it. And Leonardo does too.
Being a leader starts with acting as if you are the leader.
Who would you choose to pretend?
Leaders are imposters.
