John Q: Leadership Honors Forum Presentation

This is a video clip I presented along with a short paper to explain the displayed leadership. This clip and the whole John Q. movie is super hardcore. Anyone who is willing to do anything for the life of their child is awesome. It is sad how some people do not get treated because of no insurance or something similar.

The video I chose to develop my presentation with is John Q. This movie displays strong leadership qualities from start to finish. The video clip shows John being let down by the doctor. John’s son is dying fast and needs a heart transplant. John refuses to let the doctor affect his decision. John stands firm and eventually convinces the doctor to use John’s heart.

Leadership roles:

1.

John Q. – John is a positive motivational speaker. The circumstance John is in is bad; however, John stands up offering his heart to his son. John is determine, self sacrificing, and motivating, throughout this clip. John produces the facts, and bends the rules to complete his task. John is a great leader.
2.

Doctor – The doctor was negative at first. He refused to do the surgery. John kept talking and motivating the doctor. The doctor agreed to “cross the line” and do the surgery. The doctor became motivated and committed to John and his son.
