Attitude can be a positive motivator in your life or it can do the exact opposite and crush your dreams and be negative. As a leader your attitude affects the entire team. If you react poorly to things and always have a Eeyore attitude everyone under you will start to act the same way. On the other hand if you are being positive and motivating people to accomplish the task they will feed off your attitude and energy to finish the task at hand. Preston Tucker was a man who always had a positive attitude even when deep down he knew it was not going right. Mr. Tucker had the ideal leadership traits to be successful. From the way he used his leadership style, to his vision, and how he empowered his followers to complete the task. Mr. …show more content…
Starting with empathy he was concerned with how the process was going and to make sure it was as safe as possible. He had direction, Tucker knew that he wanted a car that would compete with the big three and prove his car was safer than theirs. He was excellent at communicating, he was able to go in front of hearing boards and make his plea for support. Tucker had flexibility when it came to design. His lead designer made a few adjustments to the design to make it safer. This is shown in the movie when the designer told Tucker the fenders would be stationary because if they moved it would be like fins and cause the car to crash. The last characteristic that Tuck had was conviction. He was going to see the car through all the way to the end. There was nothing going to stop him. Preston Tucker was both a charismatic and transformational leader. He showed his …show more content…
He gave his followers a vision of the future where car accidents would no longer mean serious injury or even death. He offered them a car design that was not like the other ones it was new and fresh that caught the eye of the public. The car had new designs that made it safer. The front windshield was shatterproof and would pop out on impact. It had seat belts to keep the driver and passengers from being flung out of the car in rollovers and to restrain them. The Tucker also had headlights that would turn with the car to always illuminate where you were going. Mr. Tucker sells his car idea as a step towards the future where safety comes first over profits. In the meeting where he served very bloody roast beef. He said in the meeting, “Why would the big three in Detroit be allowed to make billions of dollars without spending one dime on safety. But I know and you know and the public knows all they care about is profits.” This was a bold statement and ended up hurting his chances of ever competing on the same level as the big

Who was once a hero, was now the villain in many regards; he was the protagonist at first, and after, became the antagonist after his fortune took over his morality. Henry Ford had well-meaning intentions at first. Truly wanting to connect the world, he wanted to create a car that everyone can afford and be able to enjoy. Although he achieved his goal of creating this car, the model T, several unintentional controversial ideologies were established along with it.
Keeping a calm, cool, and collected attitude, even when curveballs are thrown, signifies a strong leader. When an egregious amount of errors or flaws occur during a project, a poor leader will be effected by it negatively and lose control of their team. A poor leader gets frustrated, angry, or even depressed during periods of struggles. An effective leader, notwithstanding, remains composed, and they will not allow even the worst of setbacks to affect their leadership style.
Preston Tucker’s dream above all other things was to make a safe car. Because of this the Tucker 1948 had many revolutionary safety features. Some of these features wouldn't be used for some time by other manufacturers. Every detail mattered so with safety being most important the engineers designed some new components. The instrument panel had all the controls within easy reach of the steering wheel and the dashboard was padded. The initial plans for the car also included a steering wheel that would retract in an accident. Kenneth Lyman even filed Patent number 2511165 for it on Dec 5, 1947 on behalf of the Tucker Corporation (Lyman, n.d.). This device unfortunately never had a chance to make it into the 50 vehicles produced. Even though it was symbolic of the innovative ideas they had. Some of them due to time constraints...
Preston Tucker was an American automobile dreamer in the early 1900s. He was famous for creating a new innovative car which would have a safe design, including seat belts, safety glass, and a directional third headlight.
In the year of 1985, a movie trailer had just come out about an average kid in high school. The apparent star of the trailer, Michael J. Fox, is a high schooler who was starting to go through an awkward phase of his life. The trailer shows examples of his awkwardness by showing clips of him getting knocked over in a basketball game, a pretty girl talking to him, which, result in him embarrassingly dropping his books at his locker, and him going through awkward physical changes such as body hair and voice changes. The trailer then goes to show that Michael J. Fox is not some average joe, but in fact a werewolf. The trailer shows this by showing a clip of Michael J. Fox changing into a werewolf for the first time in his life. After Michael J.
This radical idea of the automobile permeated throughout America with most, if not all credit renowned to Henry Ford. Observed as a technological mastermind, Ford commenced experiments involving machinery from the time he was adolescent to launching his career working at the Edison Illuminating Company. He examined internal combustion engines and gasoline buggy ideas eventually resulting in removing himself from Edison’s company and his introduction in the emerging automobile industry. Following in 1903, he established the Ford Motor Company, which expeditiously became a leader in the automotive industry and would gain extensive wealth within only a few decades. While other manufacturers strove to produce automobiles to be extravagant and luxurious predominantly for the wealthy, he immensely focused on efficient mass production of durable, affordable vehicles for the expanding middle-class market.
...and his passion for the car industry to merge two car companies together in order for them to benefit from each other at a precise time in the market when he was able to be successful. He understood the problems the company faced, the demand in the market, and he had a clear vision on how to solve it. He gave himself timelines and goals and each were met with great success.
A positive attitude is, after all, absolutely necessary to achieve success since it influences the outcome of a task more than any other factor (Jacobs 2016). Jane Satrom definitely fits the bill when it comes to having a positive attitude. During her first year as a teacher, Mrs. Satrom recounts having two students who tested her patience and good heart. The two African-American students “accused [her] of being racist” and were constantly going to any possible extent to “get [her] off topic so they [did not] have to work” (J. Satrom, personal communication, September 27, 2016). This was barely the beginning of Mrs. Satrom’s career and she was already facing difficult situations on the job. However, although she “drove home, crying, many a day, over those two” she kept her positive attitude and moved on. This is a prime example of the correct way for someone to handle an obstacle they
African American representation in the film industry has always been a topic for discussion. Whether talking about character types and roles, the actors being cast or not cast, and the lack of diversity in front of and behind the camera. ‘The contemporary status of race in mainstream American culture is intimately bound to the process of representation within and through the mass media.’ (Rocchio, 2000, p. 4). Any role that was to be played by an African American kept in with the dominant stereotypes of the time of production; incompetent, child like, hyper-sexualised or criminal.
The Big Three auto companies were stonewalling him into having to pay almost twice as much for steel making it impossible for him to sell the car at the price he had originally wanted. However, despite these setbacks Tucker is still able to empower his followers into believing in the end goal. He does this in multiple ways, his most preferred method, however, seems to be passionate speeches to small groups. When the engineers say something can’t be done such as fuel injection he pounds his fists on the table, raises his voice and tells them to make it happen. He uses brute will power to inspire his subordinates to do great things.
I have never really met another character quite like Forrest Gump in a movie. And for that matter, I have never quite seen a movie like “Forrest Gump,” either. In order to describe Forrest Gump, it will take quite an amount of work to make the movie seem more conventional, or normal. The movie is a coined a comedy, I guess. It could be a drama film though, or even a dream. This movie is very magical and creates quite the picture of emotions for anyone who views it.
Love is a word that’s been both miss-used and over-used all at once. Romantic movies change our definition of and have a big impact on this definition greatly.

Society is a result of our interactions, and society guides our interactions. This all stems from social construction. Social construction conveys values, ideas and traditions. These values, ideals and traditions are created and become traditions that are then passed on. These traditions then come to be perceived as natural rather than cultural, which is often how media will display it and society unknowingly accepts.
