I chose Iron Man because Tony Stark’s character goes through an incredible personal change. At first, he is arrogant and selfish, but later becomes a responsible and visionary leader. This movie shows how leadership is not just about power or position, it’s about purpose, self-awareness, and influence.

No, not at first.

In the beginning, he made decisions based on ego and greed.

After being captured, he learns from his mistakes and grows into a better leader.

Even after his change, he still struggles with ego and acting alone, but he is learning and improving.
