The article addresses the lessons that can be drawn from the film "Babe" (titled "The Detective Sheep" in the Portuguese version) for people management and the business world. The text describes the work as a modern fable that, through a flock of sheep, presents teachings for both adult life and the business environment.
The film was directed by Kyle Balda and features performances by Hugh Jackman and Emma Thompson. The production uses the story of sheep to convey deeper messages about leadership, teamwork, and overcoming challenges.
The article is authored by Miguel Martins, professor at AESE Business School. In addition to teaching, Miguel Martins is a researcher in the areas of Cinema, History, Communication, and Mass Media, which gives him an interdisciplinary perspective to analyze the relationship between the seventh art and organizational management.
The analysis suggests that, despite the apparent simplicity of the story, the film hides valuable lessons about people management that can be applied in both personal and professional contexts, demonstrating how cinema can serve as a reflection tool for leaders and managers.
