    • 4 Pages

    The 1957 film Twelve Angry Men serves as an excellent example demonstrating sources of power and influence tactics in leadership. At the start‚ the Foreman of the Jury sits at the head of the table and assigns each juror a number. He is using a legitimate source of power because he holds the position title and serves as a formal authoritative figure for the jury. The Foreman also facilitates the initial voting and discussion on the reasons why each jury member felt that way. The jury was almost unanimous

He never states a clearly formed opinion about his decision of not guilty or guilty. He relies on other to state their opinions so he can fly under

    12 Angry Men (1957) is the gripping‚ penetrating‚ and engrossing examination of a diverse group of twelve jurors (all male‚ mostly middle-aged‚ white‚ and generally of middle-class status) who are uncomfortably brought together to deliberate after hearing the ’facts’ in a seemingly open-and-shut murder trial case. They retire to a jury room to do their civic duty and serve up a just verdict for the indigent minority defendant (with a criminal record) whose life is in the balance. The film is a powerful

    Though all 12 jurors are white men‚ they are a varied crew. They attempt to sit still around the heavy table at the centre of Allen Moyer’s set‚ but in their passion keep leaping up to pace the room‚ mop their brows and peer out at an oppressively humid New York day. Relying on their analytic abilities - this is the 1950s‚ years before fancy forensics determined verdicts - they pore over the details of the case. If Rose’s dialogue makes one wish occasionally for the more clipped speed of cop-show
