A STORY OFLEADERSHIP

SELF REALISATIONAND

TEAM WORK

IT’S 1971.. Alexandria, Virginia, a community where African-American students attend a school and American students attend a different school.Times are about to change..

T.C WILLIAMS HIGH SCHOOL

Coach Bill Yoast , longtime head coach of

the T.C. Williams High School football team,

is asked to step down, and Herman Boone

is appointed to replace him as the school's

first African - American faculty member.

The local high schools have just been ordered to integrate into one.

HERMAN BOONE(Head Coach)

BILL YOAST(Former Head Coach)

Sometimes life is hard for no reason at all..

The people of the community wont be silent

Its difficult to adjust with the social change.

The new coach is not welcomed with open arms..and the newly integrated teamis full of players (both African-American and American)who have littletrust and respect forone another.

But Boone is determined toput a winning team on the field -- it's how heapproaches the game, and his future depends on it..

During his first team meeting..“This is no democracy. It is a dictatorship.

I am the law. If you survive camp, you will be on the team.

If you survive.”

In short, be ruthlessly compassionate!

The leader should not hesitate to take hard-decisions on selecting and retaining the members of the team.

Unless pushed to limits, your team will not perform at its best

Nothing is better for you than yourbiggest failure. .

If you have the talent, passion and commitment, you can make underdogs win.

STRATEGY IS IMPORTANT…

Knowing the strengths, weaknesses and strategies of competitors (of the organization / team) is essential to fully

exploit the strengths of the organization/team, to overcome its weaknesses and formulate appropriate strategies to exploit the

weaknesses of the competitors and to win.

There is no alternate to hard work, not even smart work..

If you are after a cause big enough, you will always have

people to support you

People say that it can't work, black and white; well here we made it work, everyday.

We have our disagreements, of course, but before we reach for hate,

we alwaysremember the Titans

The Team MUST have: HIGH level commitment

WIDE participation DEEP interactionSelf Realization

and LONG term view of COMMON GOAL
