Coach Boone
Coach Boone: how do his personal characteristics, traits, attitudes, and values affect his managing style?
Coach Boone has a very dominant personality. The first trait to consider is his need for achievement. Much of this stems from the pressure put on him to succeed to maintain his career, but he strives from this pressure. We learned that the best managers focus on only one thing at a time. At the beginning of the film, Boone is focused on uniting his team. Boone doesn’t splinter himself with any other priorities. Once this goal is accomplished, Boone makes a new list of what needs to be done. Since he knows that he will be fired if he loses, Boone puts winning at the top of his list and focuses on this. Boone is also very committed

    The leadership issue presented in the film is the lack of belief in the leader-that he can accomplish better than what has already taken place. In the beginning, the only person who thought much of Coach Dale was the man who hired him, Principal Cletus. Norman didn’t receive a warm welcome nor have the trust of the fathers of the sons on the team, the town, or the team itself. Coach Dale had to earn the trust and respect in order to lead the group of undisciplined individuals he…

    For example, Coach White is the one who takes the responsibility for the first loss of the team. He could of blamed the team, or he could of gotten furious at them for not winning. Instead, he chose to take the responsibility by himself. He never reinforces the team to emulate the other teams. Instead, he tells the team that it is his fault for not training them on hills, and he even finds a place with hills for them to practice. He also takes the responsibility for having the Diaz family in their team by adjusting their practice time to not overlap with the Diaz’s job as pickers. All the responsibilities he took over for the team shows that he truly cares for the…

    15-year-old Christopher John Francis Boone is the protagonist of the novel, who due to an autism spectrum disorder called Asperger’s syndrome has an inability to socially conform in some aspects. As the novel progresses the reader is able to pick up that Christopher likes order and being able to predict what will happen next as it makes him feel more in control of the situation. Despite being mathematically gifted; his condition is the evident cause of his incapability to empathize. Haddon uses short blunt sentences to establish that Christopher has difficulties empathizing, an example of this is when Christopher states, “The dog was dead. There was a garden fork sticking out of the dog.” (Haddon, 2003, Page 1). We learn through the diagrams…

    In the beginning it is not who is in charge. Initially, I assumed Coach Herman Boone is in charge. However, the white students did not believe he was in charge. All of the players did not respect him as the leader. It becomes clear, while still in the forming stage, that Coach Boone is in charge during the second scene when he pairs the players up with bus buddies.…

    As stated in my career timeline, my goal is to become an athletic director for a high school. I believe this job will provide myself with personal fulfillment that I would not achieve anywhere else.

Before holding his current position, Mr. Sharpe spent ten years as an assistant baseball coach for Gordon State College. Prior to his collegiate career he served as the head baseball coach for Upson-Lee and coordinator for the Georgia Dugout All-Star Games.

    One night 15-year-old Christopher Boone discovers that someone killed his neighbour's dog, Wellington. Upon this discovery, Christopher as a first person narrator decides to write a murder mystery novel, recounting how he solved the case. Although it’s not directly stated, the narrator's text implies that he has an autism spectrum disorder called Asperger’s Syndrome. We can infer this because he displays traits of the disorder. For example, it’s difficult for him to understand social norms such as body language and other forms of human interaction. Nonetheless, to make up for this shortcoming he is incredibly adept at problem solving and mathematics. Although he is talented in logic based skills, Christopher as a narrator is unreliable because…

    Respected, strong and intelligent, three great synonyms for Remember the Titans’ Coach Herman Boone, yet like the rest of race, he was not always treated as an equal. Throughout the film Coach Boone deals with many everyday struggles, yet his responses deliver a very important lesson. Early in the film when the team is boarding the bus for camp, Coach Boone faces a problem when Gary demands half of the team to be white and states they “don’t need any of his people on defense”, referring to the black students. This is the first time that the audience sees how Coach Boone stands for disrespect and discrimination as he proceeds to humiliate Gary and his friend, establishing the respect he demands, in front of their peers, by repeating that he…

    Leadership style is the recurring pattern of behaviors exhibited by a leader. In this movie we can see how much leadership is important. Bringing together two totally different people was not an easy task, and without the leader they had it would have never worked. Coach Herman Boone was the man everyone looks to for advice, he might not have been the most respected, but he had a plan and the motivation to accomplish it. Most leader- behavior research is focused on two dimensions of leadership style, the concern for the task to be accomplished and the concern for the people doing the work. In this movie both these styles were apparent, we could see the…
