Leadership
Qualities shown by George Bailey in the movie-
Team work – George Bailey, the protagonist of the
movie quickly comes up with the idea of forming a chain gang to save his
brother Harry when he falls through the ice, which otherwise would not have been
possible if he would have tried alone. Which showcases the importance of team
work and a great leadership quality.
Decision making – George tries to understand the
situation and uses his presence of mind to determine that something doesn’t
seem right about the prescription delivery, and as a result, saves Mr. Gower
from poisoning a customer, which showcases that he does not blindly follow
instructions and is able to take firm decisions on his own.
Courage- George displays qualities of courage when on
various occasions he stands up to Mr. Potter, refusing to give in to the
pressure to sell the Building & Loan or accept a job from him.
Generosity – George sacrifices his own hopes and
dreams throughout the movie, sending his brother to college, giving money to
Violet Bick, etc. It’s not about you,
it’s about others.
Staying calm under pressure – George maintains his
calm at the time of bank run, when everybody is losing their minds, he takes
control of the situation, and restores a panicky situation.
Critical execution– An important part of the movie,
leading to the twist where uncle Billy is given the responsibility to deposit
the money in the bank, given uncle Billy's past records, someone more
trustworthy and responsible should have been given the responsibility to carry
and deposit the money. Learning from lessons and reading about people is one of
the important qualities of a leader.
