One movie I admire is The Transformers. One reason I admire transformers is the incredible machines on display which include cars, helicopters and trucks that transform into robots. Ever since I was younger, I have always looked up to transformers. I just enjoy how unique and inspiring it is. I always thought it looked different from the real world. I always wonder how it would be to change into different things such as cars etc. One character that I absolutely love is Optimus Prime. He uses his values to guide his decision making and then he stands by that decision. Optimus Prime leadership style is primarily authoritative leading the Autobots via benevolence, self-sacrifice, and forgiveness; and authoritarian Megatron, ruling the Decepticons through threats and violence(unl.edu,2015).
Transformers have taught me to be care for others and to make sure humans were not dying from the fights that occurred. In my opinion, that is great all the series because optimus prime never switched up and made sure everyone around him was protected and safe. Transformers will try to solve the problem by using encoders and decoders together with attention models. Transformers always teach you how to be independent. I am an independent individual where I don’t be wanting a lot of help from others, but I don’t mind working as a team when things need to be done. Some specific examples of leadership qualities I think contribute to optimus success are having soft skills which is leadership qualities as effective as his ion blaster and energon axe. Prime rallies the Autobots whenever the Decepticons pose a threat. He inspires his followers because he lets them know he cares about them, and he speaks directly and honestly with them (Robert Half, 2014). Optimus Prime is kind, selfless, serious, highly intelligent, which I loved that about him he was also a leader these are all great qualities because he inspires many. Some of the leadership characteristics I have would be a leader because being a leader is important and provides guidance, inspiration, and motivation when achieving goals. Being a leader great communication, and self-esteem. I am a leader, and I am always doing whats best for me. Another characteristics trait I would say is being creative this relates to transformers because optimus was creative and always trying to figure out other techniques to do to make sure he protects everyone. I am creative. I am always trrying to figure new things put even if I don’t understand I make ways to figure out things so I can get better and produce great quality.
I am a person who is into cars, and technology and I have watched transformers several times and sometimes I would just watch them set everything up and transition into cars and helicopters. It’s so amazing it’s a great series to watch. I would say it’s very positive and shows a lot of leadership in all the series. The movie is 2 hours long but it’s worth it when you think how they break everything down and it starts getting even more in depth when you are at the middle of the series. It’s incredibly great all the machines they use and how they work great as a team. Transformer leadership is where a leader works with teams or follows beyond their immediate self-interest.
Some would be inspirational motivation which means their vision is so compelling that they know they want from every interaction. They work enthusiastically and optimistically to foster the spirit of teamwork and commitment. Which in my opinion means teamwork and commitment are very important to them. Working as a team allows them and others to bring their own perspectives to problem solving which can increase their success at arriving at solutions (Yale, 2020).
Commitment is also important because it helps you stick to your goals during good and bad times. I feel myself being very committed to anything that I do. Being committed and having dedication is so worthy especially when you can surpass so many different techniques. You will be more successful in achieving any goals and you will have more to enjoy yourself. Having these skills allows more people to come your way when you are self-disciplined and reliance. There are many leadership characteristics some of my leadership characteristics I have is the ability to openness to thinking it is important to have this skill because you must be able to think and concentrate throughout anything you do. Another reason it is important to have open thinking is because you’ll be able to learn new things and be interested in new things. Having open thinking I am often motivated to learn about new ideas and new knowledge.
Some of my ideas for improving effectiveness as a leader based on my comparison with transformer is tolerance I am still working on having more patience when it comes to a lot I can find myself not having a lot of tolerance when I am trying to accomplish things. Another one would be responsibility I feel like I don’t really have bad ones but some of them I would say the biggest is tolerance I want to be able to be peaceful environment. Transformers was good at having tolerance especially when turning into different cars. I feel like optimus prime took his time and wanted success. I really learned so much from watching transformers and how so many leaders were in this series that brought out so many different aspects of scenery.
I have learned a lot from watching the series transformers. I admire the whole movie. A lot of people look up to the movie. At first, I didn’t have a really good understanding of how the transformers reacted but then I got an understanding of the movie after watching it several times and really looking close into detail. Although, it talks a lot about machines and cars. I really like how they can switch over to cars seeing that I am into cars and would love to be a car one day. Seeing all the work ethic that was created in this series shows my work ethic as well and how creative the storyline became. Another thing I have learned from watching transformers is to be very smart at what you are doing and have the ability to be patient because if you are not this can affect the capabilities with the different type of machines, cars, and directions that may be given to you when you are aboard. Another one would be care about everyone and not just yourself this was extremely important in the movie because everyone should be working as a team and not by themselves it just makes things very simple and easier. Overall, I would tell me and transformers had a lot of similarities and I really look up to them just for all the creativity and ideas they have created.
