Also of interest for anyone interested in the founder of the Jeet Kune Do martial arts, Bruce Lee in popular culture and as an object of academic study, several leadership lessons were also gleaned from interviews with several fans of the iconic Chinese Kung-Fu martial artist. Among other things, these key leadership ways assessed include: learning, being selfless, exuding soft power, standing tall with high integrity, and adapting as well as being flexible and agile.
