Leadership Style
Coach Carter displays a combination of leadership styles in the movie “Coach Carter”, but Transformational leadership is thoroughly demonstrated throughout the movie. Transformational leadership is the ability of a leader to get people to do more than they originally expected to do in support of large scale innovation and change. By inspiring the team, Coach Carter envisioned each players can achieve far more than they could every imagine. As a team he had made them suffer and triumph together. Carter had a positive influence on one another and most importantly he encouraged everyone to work at their full potential. Not only as basketball players, by maintaining a GPA of 2.3 or greater, it had set an opportunity for senior players to graduate as well as further their academics and basketball career to a college degree. Challenging the team to take greater ownership for their work, and understanding the strengths and weaknesses of followers were few of the many things he was able to accomplish.
