LEADERSHIP SKILLS FOR ALL LEADERS

Listed below are leadership skills that one need to adapt to become influencing leader.

• Consistency:

It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives. It's what we do consistently.”
Leaders are always consistent as we also learned from the movie even if you are last man
stand be consistent in what you have and believe in.

• Compassion & kindness:

You cannot win people’s hearts if you don’t genuinely care about their welfare and well-
being. One sure way true leaders are revealed is by what they inspire in others. It was also
shown in move by Henry Fonda’s attitude.

• Critical Thinker:

He was very sharp with his mind and hence used his intelligence as power to influence,
manipulate, negotiate and dominate others

• The initiator:

He can be considered as ‘the initiator’ of the whole discussion otherwise others have already
(in very starting of the discussion) decided that the boy was guilty which was highly
influenced from their own personal prejudices, stereotyping and emotions without any
conscious and logical reason

• Distant vision and close focus:

The most vigilant lesson that Henry Fonda gives that leader have distant vision they can look
beyond a normal man, and have focus on that, they know how to turn their vision into reality.

• Helping people to reach their potential:

As Henry Fonda did, he re-created some scene, which were in discussion and cleared the
mind on the other jurors, and helped them clear their doubts he supported them throughout
the film.
