Last
game, decisive the winner of the 1995 Rugby World Cup
In this scene we see two types of participatory leadership approach, on the
one hand President Nelson without being directly within the game practice the motivation to achieve and against splitting
see to the captain of the springboks that apart from motivate with all of their
efforts until the end and at times more difficult; also it gives the example
participating and showing their great motivation to serve it to the other
members of the team.
MY OPINION ABOUT THE FILM
The film shows the development of all types of leadership in different
characters, for example, we can say that President Nelson Mandela has on
different occasions all types of leadership according to the occasion; It also
enables others become the leaders; This means that apart from being an
excellent administrator is also a great leader of the 21st century.
This great character teaches the development of a good administrator
because it seeks the common good, has control, scope of control unit, delegated
functions according to performance, division of labor and support chain; all
these aspects are traditional principles of administration. The functions of
administrator from plan strategies to the same control develops in the same
way. Finally, within management skills, human relations skills, develops
perfectly without leaving behind the others.
Mr. Mandela is also a clear example of leader today, as we highlight above,
because it develops a series of activities that give it such a title, such as:
Guide, delegate tasks, participate, has followers, well chosen by them, and
develops their influences, compassionate, talkative, and dedicated. Among its
limitations as current leader we see the balance of life and work.
Among its strokes of personality we see that it has confidence in itself,
flexibility, sensitivity to others, stability and intelligence. Within the
strokes that maintain the leadership we can say that it complies with all
(power, membership, and
achievement)
I personally conclude that the film is very interesting, but more than that
leaves a number of lessons that must be met to be better, reach goals and meet
the goals both in volver life and work. It is certainly one of the best films
of example where motivation can turn the tide of what is believed to be
impossible.
I am the master of my fate, I am the
captain of my soul...
Nelson Mandela
