Group Discussion Week 4: Challenging the process
Please review this clip (approximately 10 minutes) from the film, Remember the Titans. Coach Boone (Denzel Washington), the new head coach of a recently integrated high school football team in Virginia, challenges his team to get to know fellow teammates of another race. Until they do, they will undergo increasingly intensive practices. Coach Boone was determined to use the “ challenge the process” practice to bring about change among his followers.
In contrast to Coach Boone, for this post, scour the Internet and find an example of someone who “challenges the process,” but, according to Lencioni/Kouzes and Posner, uses the wrong approach. This can be based on a video, news article, magazine article, etc. Identify what this person is doing wrong and offer advice on how he or she can properly implement this leadership practice. Include a link to the web resource you are referencing in your post.
***The key to success here is not in finding a leader who engages in any type of “challenge,” but challenges the process (i.e. implements change). Focus heavily on Kouzes and Posner’s words…and remember that not every “challenge” is aimed at a “process.”***
