Leadership Styles That Make Up Leadership

He says, “I don't care if you like each other or not. But you will respect each other. And maybe––I don't know––maybe we’ll learn to play this game like men.” (Eidenmuller) Coach Boone knows that even after saying everything he has so far, some of the boys will still dislike each other. However, he does request that they respect each other for the purpose of playing the game. The fact that the Titans have not been respecting each other makes Coach Boone imply that the boys are acting childish. Men shed their blood for them here at Gettysburg so they could be equals, yet they cannot get passed skin color to play football together. By insulting their maturity, Coach Boone successfully used pathos to make the team want to play as a

Coach Boone uses his power that he gained as a Coah to bring the black and white community together by putting mixing the races when they are in the camp. He needs each race to understand how each race or individual can acquire an alternate perspective or can act as a helping hand that would profit the team in the future. Bill Yoast likewise utilizes his power by concentrating on completing the works, unlike Coach Boone, he is willing to lose his Hall of Fame nomination in the Regional Final game. He sees Coach Boone's goal and in order for it to happen, he does this so that the players have a fair chance at winning the game and wouldn't miss out due to prejudice.

In the beginning of the movie, Coach Boone had to build ethos for himself because of racial differences. Coach Boone, being of African American descent, was hired over their current caucasian coach and this caused the white football players to boycott the team until Coach Yoast became their assistant coach. Coach Boone lead his team by example and his dedication to his craft. He showed the players that he did not care about what color you wore on your skin, but of the sport that brought them together. During his speech he states “I don’t care if you like each other or not. But you will respect each other. And maybe, I don’t know, maybe we’ll learn to play this game like men” (Boone). He uses the built trust aspect of ethos very well to close this speech.

In the film Coach Boone exhibited legitimate power over the team and the other assistance coaches. He got his respect because he was the coach and he was in a higher position. His skills and title made his an expert on what he does. Coercive power was exhibited in the film by Coach Boone during the summer camp with the team. If they did not get to know each other they would be face with punishment. Coach Yoast exhibited referent power to the team, he use more of a personal drawing.

As with most sports teams, the Titans have an autocratic leadership style. Coach Boone is the one and only person who makes the decisions, he is the main man in charge. The style is productive, and the team wins games. Although he has assistant coaches, such as Bill Yoast who is the defensive coordinator, all the decisions must go through Coach Boone first. The democratic leadership style is not applicable on a football team because that’s why teams have coaches. The team does not make group decisions. Coach Boone also uses Job Enlargement in ‘Remember the

The team went through a very challenging formation phase because there was a lot of resistance to integrate the school and football team. White players were concerned about loosing their starting positions and were upset that their Head Coach (Bill Yoast) was demoted to Assistant Coach, which almost caused them to quit the team. The black players were under a lot of pressure as well, being placed in a white school and knowing that they would be subject to a lot of hatred. Both the new Head Coach (Herman Boone) and Coach Yoast initially did not want to take on their new positions.

When they first came together, there was a significant amount of vying and jockeying for power, between the players and the coaches. The leader of the white players (Gerry) tried to assert himself to Coach Boone early, but the coach made sure Gerry knew his place. A coach is a leader and must take charge if a player oversteps his boundaries. The difference in the coaching styles also showed early on, as both coaches had different objectives. Coach Boone, who was fighting to keep his job, was almost like a drill instructor and demanding. While Coach Yoast was more lenient towards the players and more hesitant to yell at them. This may have been due to the fact that Yoast was told that the head coaching job was his if Boone lost a game.

Remember the Titans was based on a true story. In 1971, a court order forced three high schools in Alexandria, Virginia—two white schools and one African-American school—to integrate their students and faculty for the first time. As a result, Coach Bill Yoast, the head coach of the T.C. Williams High School football team, was asked to give up his position to Herman Boone, who became the school 's first black faculty member. Coach Boone did not receive a warm welcome by the school 's staff or students, and the newly integrated team was full of players—both black and white—who did not have much respect for one another. The problems that came from the racial diversity were obvious, but Boone was determined to form a winning team—it all depended on how he approached the game and how the team reacted to him—and his future relied on it. Against all odds, Boone helped his team overcome the doubt and misinterpretation and they became a force to

In my opinion, coach Boone had many leadership strengths: He had his goal to make the team a winning team, and to do that he knew he would have to overcome many obstacles, to make the players a real team and a group of players.

• Coach Herman Boone, newly appointed head coach at a predominately white school, recently integrated. He is married and has two young daughters in a nuclear family.

Coach Boone had an excellent follower or Co-leader. Coach Hines’ co-leadership abilities seemed to be the conscious for Coach Boone. He steps in and positively influenced Coach Boone decision. Also, Coach Yoast is excellent as a co-leader. The success of an organization or team is incumbent upon the abilities of everyone and all successful leaders have highly effective co-leaders.

Yoast was dedicated to football and had gained loyalty from his team and white community. He was respected and had demonstrated his effective leadership through several wins. He was also nominated for hall of fame for his exceptional leadership. He cared for the people in his team. When he had the opportunity to leave and take up a position for head coach he did not because he was worried about the players in his team. He considered them like his own kids and was concerned for them and did not want to abandon them. He takes the offer of the assistant coach to ensure that his team members are a part of the new team. His initial objective was to ensure that his boys are a part of the team and are well taken care off.

The film Remember the Titans showcased a time when schools were on the verge of integrating blacks and whites in the small town of Alexandria, Virginia. When it was decided that the high schools should be combined the issue of what was going to happen to each football team became the most prevalent issue. At each of the separate schools football was the main event that brought everyone together, however never whites and blacks. Before the football teams joined together the board had to decide who the head coach was going to be. Before the actual integrating of the schools occurred it was thought the Coach Yost (the coach at the white school) was going to take on the leadership role, but that changed when it actually came time to declare who the head coach was going to be. Instead they decided to make Coach Boone the head coach. At first he declined the offer, but then later decided to take the job because of the effect it would have on the black community. This lead to the white football team boycotting the decision for the head coach because they did not want to play under a black man. Society had deemed it wrong for blacks and whites to play together and now for the white players to listen to a black man.

It’s been a great experience coaching and mentoring kids in the same park I once played in. I will never forget the memories of me walking on that practice field for the first time as an adolescent. I had seen and heard so many great things about the program to the point I was anxious to be a part of that hard nose “Bulldogs tradition”. I had heard all about the coaches from Marcus Jerry, Corey Denson, Craig Davis, and D. Millines etc... I heard everything I needed to know about “Coach Bo”, before ever meeting him. Everyone said he was tough, but he was fair. Everything they told me turned out to be the truth. “Coach Bo” showed me how to be a man through football, Coach Rodney was a great coach and communicator, although he rarely raised his

So many Coaches have talent and dedication for what they do. I 'm proud to play for one that has a spectacular history of coaching. That coach is Dennis Lorio. Graduated from LSU (Louisiana State University) with an economic degree and played baseball. “I love the intensity and the relationship in football” Coach Lorio explaining with a passionate expression. I can see it in his eyes that he is very dedicated and hardworking coach. As of now he is 62 years old and still willing to coach. “It’s not the same without coaching. The joy and the sorrow I feel during the season has been addicted to me. I’ve been in this game almost all my life and that is a very long time.”
