The Ideal Leader In The Film Facing The Giants

One thing in life is absolutely certain, we are all human and we will all make mistakes, therefore, there is no definition of a “perfect leader”. This statement is true, but there are numerous qualities that make a phenomenal leader far from utterly perfect, yet inspired, driven, and intentional. Without motivation, definite communication skills and integrity, one would not be capable of leading others in the right direction, or even leading them at all. Motivation to push ourselves and others towards a goal, communicating effectively in order to properly and more efficiently get the job done, and possessing qualities of integrity to connect to those around us are all components of a great leader. “Motivation” can be described and portrayed

In this scene, Brock is depending on the motivation from his coach to get him to the 50 yard line while doing the death crawl, but that motivation pushes him all the way to the end zone, a full 100 yards. Another example of motivation could be a simple college student struggling to push themselves to study for 8 hours straight, but in doing so makes an A on a quiz. From a leadership perspective, motivation is the key to inspiring others to work towards a common goal. Motivation gives a leader the ability to make those around him/her feel like they have achieved the impossible, while striving for the “end zone” and not just the 50 yard line. As citizens of the United States we are placing our trust entirely in the leaders of our country and constantly looking to them for counsel.

All great leaders are able to effectively communicate ideas and goals to others, resulting in vast preparation and cooperation. Without the proper communication skills, a leader would not be pushing others in the right direction, he would simply be guiding them astray with unanswered questions and concerns. One aspect of effective communication is letting the diversity of a group guide the conversation. Personality types become drastically different in large groups and, with that being said, focusing on one type of communication can prove to be ineffective. A good leader learns how to let the differences of the group guide discussions and proposals in order for each individual to feel as if they are important and essential to the situation. When the whole team is able to understand and take away from what someone is saying, the cooperation from each person and the effectiveness of the leader is apparent. In the United States, our president is not the only leader. Governors, senators, secretaries, and representatives are all a part of the communication taking place in our country. Although situations can get out of hand at times, a good leader that possesses that superlative communication skill is able to bring everyone back together. The United States would not be in the place it is today with resilient communication efforts.
