Paper Summary:

This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the film "Glory," directed by Edward Zwick and Dan Lerner. Specifically, the paper summarizes the film and applies various leadership theories to the main character, Colonel Robert Gould Shaw. The paper concludes with a personal reflection on the film's portrayal of leadership qualities through this character.

From the Paper:

"Finally, Shaw had a great moral sense, and a strong sense of what is right and wrong, and this is another mark of a fine leader. Shaw tried to right some of the wrongs his regiment faced, from prejudice to cheating and low pay. He was a moral man who wanted justice and equality for his men at a time when blacks were still slaves in the South. A fine leader has morality, common sense, and a sense of fair play. This helps develop loyalty in the people they lead, and security, too. His men knew they could trust their leader and that he would never cross them or turn his back on them. That develops loyalty, and loyalty is one of the things a good leader needs in order to continue to be effective and successful."
