Below is the link to a clip of the movie, Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1, which I believe illustrates the relational leadership model quite well.

After the Capitol bombed a hospital in District 8, Catniss shares her thoughts for all of the Rebels to see on video. They are unaware of the bombing, so this is her chance to show the evils of the Capitol and exemplify the coming together of the Rebels. Catniss is the chosen leader, and she needs to create fire in their hearts of every Rebel to unite in order to fight the Capitol. Catniss is passionate and purposeful in her speech, the core to relational leadership. Without purpose, leaders have nothing to work toward and nothing to create this passion. Catniss is also extremely empowering as she yearns that they must all fight back. From her speech, the Rebels will want to fight back as they feel in control of their destiny.
Hi Jackie! I agree, Catniss really exemplifies relational leadership. She provides strong encouragement to the rebels and showcases what she really believes in. She believes that, if they all come together and fight, they can defeat the Capitol. I agree that her passion and drive make her a strong leader and she showcases an overall sense of purpose in her speech.
ReplyDeleteJackie- I want to challenge you to think that while she is purposeful in what she is saying does it truly depict what her and the rebels stand for? How is this part of the process if she is the only one standing for something? How can someone who doesn't know the dynamic in this movie understand how her actions are part of the relational leadership model?
