Everyone has heard a story about a losing high school sports team that with the help of new blood and rigorous training goes on to "win the big one." But this Hartwick Classic Film Leadership CaseĀ® is based on a true story, one that describes the rebirth of a down-and-out Indiana high school basketball team at the hands of a new coach. As students witness this comeback, they are struck by how apt the metaphor of coaching is to effective management and leadership. They also see how the resurgence of a failing athletic team resonates with meaning for any organization seeking to reinvent itself. They also focus on the challenges a newly-installed leader often faces: organizational politics, naysayers, gossip, scandal, even vengeance. The coach's ability to articulate and communicate a vision for the team, to analyze the situation and develop a plan of action, to set measurable and realistic goals, and to gain the respect and trust of others provides a rich tapestry of leadership insight.
