    I believe that Gerry Bertier is a strong leader and a great role model in this film. He is seen as a strong role model being the captain of the football team, a typical american all-star. He appears competent to his followers in that he is good at leading his team, and is often seen yelling at his teammates when they appear faulty. His teammates, family, and friends rely on him to carry the team. Gerry has high expectations, and wants to have it all- be captain, with a beautiful girlfriend, a perfect family, great friends, college expectations and the hope of winning the championship. Gerry is willing to, after some time, accept his fellow african-american teammates and plays a key role in helping his family and friends do the same. He ends up being inseparable from Julius, an african american teammate. A pivotal scene in the movie is when he tells his former best friend and teammate that he is no longer allowed to play on the team because he purposefully allowed an african american teammate to be injured and proves he will no longer stand…

    When Jackson was named head coach of the Bulls he formed a vision for the team. When we look at the five practices of Kouzes and Posner, Jackson was able to inspire a shared vision. Through what he learned from the Lakota and his past coaching experience, gave him this essence of leadership. His vision was to have a selfless team. His goal was to give everyone on the team a vital role, so each player can blend in naturally. Jackson incorporated the triangle offense with the Bulls where anyone can shoot, can score, can make a pass. What made the Chicago Bulls a successful team was their connection with each other as a team, and the ability of Michael Jordan to set his ego aside and realize that he couldn’t do it by himself but trust his team. Phil Jackson wanted to get the most out of his team, he was able to make his players disconnect from him and connect his players to their teammates and the love for the game.…
