Batman isn’t just a comic book character who has been franchised for multiple movies, he’s a leader. He happens to be a leader that we in business can learn a lot from.
Batman is my favorite Superhero. And I’m not talking about The Dark Knight as portrayed by Christian Bale (not that there’s anything wrong with that) – but I love the classic Super Friend Batman, the Dc Comic's Batman and even the Adam West Batman. He’s the one I think of when I see the Bat-Singal.
Bruce Wayne AKA Batman, son of Thomas and Martha Wayne, Professional Martial Artist trained under Ra'as Al Ghul of League of Shadow, Multi Millionaire, Highly intelligent in Science and Technology, Worlds Greatest Detective and A man with his own principles and moral code.
More than any other Superheroes, Batman teaches some real life, practical Leadership Lessons. Here’s what I have learned from him:
Understand That You Are Human: Batman is one of the few
Superheros who has no super powers. He has to remind himself of these
limitations to keep from doing things that are beyond his capabilities.
While there may be some Super-Leaders, there are no Super-Human-Leaders.

Use The Best Technology Available: Wouldn’t you love to wear a utility belt? What Batman lacked in physical power he more than made up for in gadgets. Technology is essential but don’t overload your belt. Use what you need and travel light.
Choose The Right Face For The Right Place: If you ever saw
Clark Kent at work, you would know. Those glasses aren’t fooling anyone
He’s Superman. Batman, on the other hand now that’s a mask! You may
never wear a mask to work but your face reveals more than you think.Here are a couple of quotes:

- “The face is the courier of the message, an extension of one’s emotions, and an interpreter of one’s intent.”
- “Remember, it’s your first expression that makes the first impression.”
Bruce Wayne would not have been very intimidating showing up to a
bank robbery in a white dinner jacket and loafers. Just as Batman would
have been a bit overdressed at a ladies civic luncheon wearing a mask.
He always chose the right face for the right place. And his choice
usually communicated his intent.
