Organization is an action of assigning specific tasks to the roles, while meeting the objectives of the group, organization, or business. This process involves deciding and evaluating how best to distribute the tasks and recourses , in order to coordinate effective work flow. "Organization involves shaping and reshaping departmental divisions, establishing management structures and teams, and putting workers in place to accomplish tasks"( bookssjndjw). Coach Boone 's organizational skills allowed him to make necessarily adjustments at many occasions. In the movie there was a scene when Boone said, "Each one of you will spend time every day with a teammate of a different race. You will learn about him and his family, his likes, his dislikes. You will report back to me, until you meet every one of your teammates"( vidio youndj). I think that this specific scene is an outstanding example of an organizing and assigning a particular tasks to the group.
Third part in a management process is known as controlling. This stage can be describe as evaluation the goals and objectives, yet watching whether or not proper progress is being made towards them. A good manager should be able to notice a poor performance and take corrective actions. Moreover, it is crucial to know specific plans, because only then an effective controlling actions may be taken. Coach Boone exhibited his controlling skills by making specific and necessary adjustments during the championship game, which allowed them to win.

  • Ethical Dilemmas In The Movie Remember The Titans

    The movie I decided to analyze was Remember the Titans. I examined the dilemmas and ethical choices that were displayed throughout the story. In the early 1970s, two schools in Alexandria Virginia integrate forming T.C. Williams High School. The Caucasian head coach of the Titans is replaced by an African American coach (Denzel Washington) from North Carolina, which causes a fury among white parents and students. Tensions arise quickly among the players and throughout the community when players of different races are forced together on the same football team. Coach Boone is a great example of a leader. He knows he faces a tough year of teaching his hated team. But, instead of listening to the hating town or administrators, Boone pushes his team to their limits and forces good relationships between players, regardless of race. His vision for the team involves getting the players concerned in what the team needs to become, and not what it is supposed to be; a waste. Boone is a convincing leader with a brutal, boot camp approach to coaching. He believes in making the players re-build themselves as a team. When Boone says, You will wear a jacket, shirt, and tie. If you don't have one buy one, can't afford one then borrow one from your old man, if you don't have an old man, then find a drunk, trade him for his. It showed that he was a handy Craftsman and wanted done what he wanted done no matter what it took.During training camp, Boone pairs black players with white players and instructs them to learn about each other. This idea is met with a lot of fighting, but black linebacker Julius Campbell and stubborn white All-American Gerry Bertier. It was difficult for the players to cope with the fact they had to play with and compete with ...

    But after Boone saw what it meant to the black community, he accepted the job. Yoast, however, wanted to go elsewhere. As the white players threatened to boycott the team, Yoast became the assistant coach with his friend, coach Tyrell, lest the white boys jeopardize their future. As training camp starts, they have to break up numerous fights between the white and black teammates. Yoast does not like Boone’s extremely aggressive training style and is reflected in the quote “There’s a fine line between strict and crazy, and I reckon you’re flirting with it”. After Boone’s Gettysburg speech, the coaches begin to move together. Eventually, coach Tyrell and coach Yoast have a split in friendship about integration.

  • The Systematic and Scholarly Study of Leadership

    707 Words  | 2 Pages

    Kotterman begins by highlighting the varying connotations often attached to the terms management and leadership; the former being primarily negative and the latter generally positive. From here he highlights the necessity to more clearly define these two terms and the means by which he shall do so. Kotterman uses the results of numerous management and leadership studies, the majority of data being based on subordinate opinions of role and effectiveness, to draw his comparison and thereby define the key terms. He juxtaposes management and leadership via a set of four processes. These processes are vision establishment, human development and networking, vision execution, and vision outcome (Kotterman, 2006). Following from each of these processes, a set of descriptors is offered for both management and leadership from which Kotterman draws meaning. Kotterman concludes that the two roles vary conceptually but are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Management is essentially task-centered, concerned with physical process, production, budget, and structure. Leadership is primarily human-centered, concentrating on motivation, inspiration, and needs. (Kotterman, 2006). This concl...

    Leaders: Strategies for Taking Charge is an organizational management book written by Warren Bennis and Burt Nanus for those who aim to become better leaders. The authors emphasize that having executive positions or being a manager does not automatically make one a leader. A leader is one who inspires his staff, help them find purpose in their work, and effectively implement their plans. They separate the book not quite into chapters on different topics, but rather by four strategies that they have determined are vital for any leader to take on. The strategies are effectively concluded as attention through vision, meaning through communication, trust through positioning, and the deployment of self. A prominent feature of Leaders is the various
