Situational Leadership in the Movies-Extra Credit

Forever Strong
One movie that is a good example of situational leadership is Forever Strong. This movie is about a rugby team that invites a young man who is in juvenile detention to come play on their team hoping that being on the team will help him straighten out his life. The coach in this movie is able to adjust his leadership approach to fit each situation, which makes him a very effective leader. When the team is on the field in the middle of an intense practice or a big game, the coach is firm and tough. He tells the players what to do and if they don't do it they are punished. On the other hand, when any of the players is having a hard time or when the team is going through a something difficult, the coach is understanding and sympathetic. He listens to what they say and tries to give them advice. He is a great example of a person who utilizes situation leadership.
