Any Given WORKday

So…while I restyle and retool this blog, I’ve been watching tv.  Nothing really on, so I decide to watch the edited for TV version of Any Given Sunday.  I’ve seen it before.  Pretty good movie.  Nothing special, right?

Well, I get to the part where Al Pacino’s character has Jamie Foxx’s character over for diner and I actually listen to their heated dialog.  “Team, Leadership & Tradition vs  Self, Determination & Taking Chances” is the theme and , if you haven’t seen the movie,  the discussion ends as a stalemate.  By the end of the movie, Jamie Foxx’s character learns about teamwork & leadership and is able to attain his goals by trusting and leading the team and Al Pacino’s character learns to take chances.  Its a great learning movie.

…so what the !@#$ is that supposed to mean?

This movie is great because it can teach managers how to lead by example and not by orders or you’ll hear someone say in a meeting (hopefully in an Al Pacino-like voice): “He’s tearing this team apart!!!”
