Remember the Titans: A Cinematic Model of Leadership

Hello Everybody! I am really excited for Leadership Conference. It is only a few months away. We've been working really hard to have a great Leadership Conference. I have to say last year's keynote speaker was amazing. But I have seen videos and read reviews from this year's speaker and wow, I can't wait. One of my favorite movies is Remember the Titans. I hope everyone has seen that movie because it is one of the best leadership movies in the world. The story is about a high school football team in Virginia. Denzel Washington is the coach of the team and throughout the movie you can see how he works on a one on one basis with each team member to make sure that everyone gets along. It is important to mention that a leader never leaves his or her people behind. As a leader you need to make sure that you are able to fulfill everyone's need, but always keeping in mind that it is hard to stay in good terms with everybody because people expect too much from others. A quote that reflects exactly what I want to say is "Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you'll be criticized anyway" by Margaret Thatcher. Make sure that you see the movie. Have a great day!

  1. Sometimes funny pictures are created automatically, and now need a little time to our own.
    These make great funny pictures, and can be as blatant as the example I just gave,
    or as simple as a spelling mistake. So, to overcome this situation
    and to remain in a positive mood laughter therapy is the best solution which
    can be done by various ways by watching funny movies, by downlaoding some funny pictures or by doing
    chit chatting of funny text with your dear freinds.

  2. This simple app provides lots of funny facts that you have ever
    known. It seems like the internet today is almost
    entirely full of nothing but funny pictures and videos that people
    use to pass their days. So, to overcome this situation and to remain in a
    positive mood laughter therapy is the best solution which can be
    done by various ways by watching funny movies, by downlaoding some funny pictures or by doing chit chatting
    of funny text with your dear freinds.

  4. Small women are believed to find it more complicated
    to use fat than larger women as they have got a smaller calorie need.
    One last thing that isn't mandatory but recommended is to set up a Pay - Pal account to process your payments. Avoid burnout by mixing up your exercises so that you will stay interested in doing them.

  6. So just like others, if a person has interest in the fresh news updates, he can surely give a preference to online medium for getting familiarity with these topics.
    Office goers and people who are travelling often do not get time to read news from the newspaper or watch it to
    get good information they could subscribe for sports SMS
    alerts. I want to mention a part of the Prime Law
    (Twelve Visions Party) which is part of Neothink.
