Reflection On The Movie Pay It Forward

Rhodus 1

Pay It Forward I choose the move Pay It Forward for I feel this is a great example of leadership and how it can be applied in real life situations. The name in itself speaks wonders. We know it is a metaphorical statement but it has power. In the movie, Pay It Forward, a middle school boy is given an assignment which he turns into a moral mission. He starts this ?pay it forward? and wants to keep it going. A reporter decides to investigate this action when he had totaled his own car and a lawyer gives him his Jaguar. The reporter was very intrigued by this action and decided to follow up and at the end of is trail of investigation he found Trevor, the little boy who started this ?good deed? reaction. This was done by a cycle of good deeds to others and in turn these people to return the good deed to someone else with a good deed. Pay it forward can and is a great lesson anyone in a management position can use. Pay it forward has a great and positive impact on the world in the movie and can do the same in the leadership arena. Not only can this type of behavior have a positive effect on the employees but yourself as well. When you are feeling great and positive it tends to radiant and others will see this. In turn, even if they do not use the pay it forward theory, they can still be touched and have a better outlook on life

Great leadership I feel starts with the character of being a giver, servants of others, a servant leadership. A person that can show this type of behavior does show and reflect on their work as well as others. Many people/employees will see this and reciprocate and give
