The Blind Side, as mentioned in one of my previous posts, truly represents a transformational leadership experience. According to James McGregor Burns, Transformational Leadership is "The Process of engaging with others to create a connection that increases motivation and morality in both the leader and the follower." These video clips show how Michael Oher (follower) and Leigh Anne Tuohy (leader) engaged with each other to create a similar transformational leadership connection. They may have had a "Mother-Son" relationship, but they still learned from each other and increased their morality and motivation as both a leader and a follower. At the end of each clip, Leigh Anne's friend states, "Honey, you're changing that boy's life," and Leigh Anne replies back with, "No, he's changing mine." This just shows how two people can come from two completely different areas of their lives and be transformed into better leaders and followers. This movie is based on a true story that has inspired viewers everywhere to be better people.
Hey Kimi! First off, good job incorporating your theme into your posts. "Believing in yourself and others to accomplish a common goal" is huge in leadership. Secondly, although I haven't seen The Blind Side, I can tell that this movie is truly inspirational. It exemplifies transformational leadership because they do change/make a huge impact in each other's lives. They both grow as people and learn from one another, raising each other to new heights. Now I want to watch this movie! Really good choice!
