In 2004 a historical film was released called Hotel Rwanda but the story has a lot to do with the power of a Business leader. When facing Genocide in 1994 Paul Rusesabagina was on the job at the hotel and had to face some impossible challenges. He had to direct a staff and bring people together to save lives in the event of war. Paul did not found the hotel but he became a leader when he did not expect it. It has always been a debate about if leaders are born or made. The fact is that there is divine nature in some cases in regards to leaders. Rwanda was worth nothing to politics but Paul as a leader helped this country be remembered. He used no bias but good will and the fact remains that business is a team effort that many times involve leaders believing in the impossible and when Paul’s back was against the wall he had to face the impossible and use many methods to save lives. The fact is that he did it and he made an impact on the lives he saved and to this day gives people hope when faced with the impossible. The fight was between the Hutu and Tutsi tribes and Paul was the manager of Sabena Hôtel des Mille Collines. Paul was Hutu which was the tribe leading the Genocide and his wife Tatiana was Tutsi. Paul as a Hutu did the impossible.
