Summary:

This case revolves around the Cincinnati Bengals, a franchise within the National Football League (NFL). Throughout its history, the Bengals have primarily been under the ownership of the Paul Brown family. Its versatile nature allows for multiple applications and interpretations. The case serves as a vehicle to explore renowned leadership theories, such as Burns' (1978) insights into transformational leadership, Bass' (1985) further developments in this area, and House's (1977) exploration of charismatic leadership. In addition, referencing Collins' (2001) Good to Great wherein he introduced the concept of "A Genius with a Thousand Helpers," students are prompted to evaluate whether the Brown family aligns with this descriptor. Moreover, the case illuminates the intricate challenges faced by family-owned businesses (FOBs), particularly in the domain of ownership succession. Miller et al. (2003) and Giambatista et al. (2005) offer comprehensive frameworks for analyzing such dilemmas.
