Ethical Issues In The Titans
The Titans
“Corporate social responsibility refers to a firm’s deliberate pursuit of economically, socially, and environmentally conscientious policies and practices, (Editorial Board, 2015).” Based on this definition the decision to make Coach Boone the head coach was not an appropriate decision. Corporate social responsibility is supposed to be for the positive of the economy and done with a conscious effort on the responsible party. The School Board originally hired Coach Boone be an assistant coach for the Titans and later made him the head coach. They made him the head coach so that if he lost a game they could fire him. This was an unethical decision by the school board and it was also unlawful decision. Corporate social responsibility …show more content…
Coach Yoast could have went to Coach Boone and told him about the plot before the game Instead Coach Yoast decides to keep quiet about the plot to get Coach Boone fired. Coach Yoast chose to not do anything at first and watched the referees throwing the game in order to get Coach Boone fired. Coach Yoast watches as Coach Boone and the players realize that the referees are calling bad plays on purpose. He finally decides to do something about the plot and threatens the referee if he does not start calling the game plays correctly. Coach Yoast could have called the referees out sooner. He could also have told the gentlemen at the dinner that he wanted no part of the plot. The role of management in organizational conflict situations is to decide whether to stimulate conflict or resolve it. Sometimes stimulating conflict can lead to a more creative solution to the conflict. In the movie ‘Remember the Titans’ Coach Boone faced the conflict of players that hated each other because of the color of their skin. Coach Boone chose to resolve this conflict. He forced the players to get to know each other as human beings. The conflict was eventually resolved after they realized that the color of their skin did not have anything to do with who they were as a

    Remember the Titans

    Have you ever watched a movie where there was not a conflict at some point that needed to be solved? The answer should be no because within every movie there is always some kind of conflict that must be solved. In “Remember the Titans” there are at least a series of ten or more conflicts, whether they are physical, mental, interpersonal, or even just random violence. These conflicts affect the movie itself and because of that cannot be just left open but must be resolved at some point or in some way; along with that they also are either solved in a good way or a very bad way. “Remember the Titans” is the story about a school in North Carolina, where up until 1971, was all white and was segregated against the blacks. This of course causes most of the conflicts because of the white not liking the black and vice versa. As the story continues there are problems that arise but each one of them is solved in a very unique way whether it is the football players, coaches, or everyone personally that solve it.…

    Conflict Mode Style Worksheet

    In team settings, individual team members generally handle conflict in five key ways as identified in an adaptation of the Thomas-Kilman Conflict Inventory (1976): Avoidance, Accommodation, Competition, Compromise, and Collaboration. All five conflict styles can be both beneficial and/or costly to individual and team success. It can also be argued that all five conflict styles may be useful to resolve conflicts under certain circumstances. Please review the five conflict styles listed below:…

    Strategies for Managing Conflict Among Teams in the Workplace

    Conflict is a disagreement that occurs in teams when there is a difference of opinions, values, or even perception. Conflict amongst teams is inevitable because every person is different. Each person in a team is unique and possesses a variety of intellectual, emotional, economic and social differences (DeJanasz-Dowd-Schneider, 2001, Chap. 12). Conflict amongst a team can be positive or negative. Conflicts among teams in the workplace are not new. They have been around for centuries in many companies. What is new to the workplace and many companies is how they are choosing to resolve the conflicts.…

    Tuckman's Team Development

    “Conflict is an integral part of the life of teams. It is inevitable because teams are made up of people and no two people are alike. When people come together, they bring with them different ways of seeing things. When these differences show up, people can feel threatened, and conflict emerges.” CITATION Fla08 \l 1033 (Flanagan, 2008). Conflict management is part of every day management practice in an organization and is required to survive in the competitive environment. Conflict may arise among employees, team members, between the employer and employee and occur if the sides do not agree. However, conflicts can be minimized or predicted if the early indicators are recognized.…

    Peterson and Harvey argues that managing conflict for leaders is a difficult task and should be done in a way which is beneficial for the team without the straining the relationships between members. This is important as conflict is inevitable in the workplace and that conflict may be very uncomfortable for the group as it may be seen as personal attacks on other people. Consequently, leaders must be able to manage conflict without ignoring it so that members of the group feel comfortable in contributing to new…

    Team Conflict Resolution

    On the other hand, if conflict is not managed correctly, and the project manager suppresses or suffocates conflict it can lead to project delays, a decline in employee moral and team energy, not to mention the restriction of the flow of ideas. The key to managing conflict is for a team to mediate those conflicts internally. One of the main contributors to conflict in a diverse environment is communication. All team members need to understand the group's communication process, and the team's mediation process. If one or two of the team members do not understand the process or just choose not to follow the defined processes, the benefits of conflict breakdown. A second potential area of conflict occurs when boundaries or lines are crossed. The Project Manager must monitor and enforce these personal boundaries, and each team member must understand and support these…

    Healthy Work Environments

    As previously mentioned, management staff plays a key role in fostering a supportive, collaborative and cohesive team that is communicative when conflict arises. Having said that, hiring knowledgeable and approachable management staff who are trained in conflict management is an integral strategy for organizations to adopt. Additionally, organizational strategies should be focused on the development of policies and procedures in managing, reporting, following-up, and monitoring of conflict within the organization (Brinkert, 2010). Creating policies such as an open-door policy or no tolerance policy allows staff to feel comfortable in voicing concerns without fear or intimidation, and ensures that staff members are supported when conflict arises (Johnston, Phanhtharath, Jackson, 2009). Moreover, strategies that incorporate the transfer of conflict management skills and education to staff is vital. Educating staff through interactive workshops or focus groups for instance, gives staff the opportunity to learn about conflict, identify their conflict styles, and learn appropriate conflict resolution methods (Sheridan-Leos,…

    Remember the Titans

    In the movie ‘Remember the Titans', there are many management concepts covered throughout the movie and he is the agent in the movie. The players on the Titans are the targets of the influence. ‘Remember the Titans' is the perfect movie for Exam 3. It covers many topics that were on the exam, and this class has given me a different way of looking at the movie. I have seen the movie many times, but I never looked at it from a management perspective. It now makes sense to me to look at a football team, or any other type of sports team, from a management point of view.…

    Handling Conflict

    “Effective conflict management should reflect the advice offered by Mary Parker Follett some sixty years ago. She argued that one ought not to conceive conflict as a wasteful outbreak of incompatibilities, but a normal process whereby socially valuable differences register themselves for the enrichment for all concerned.” (Treslan) Conflict should be handled differently, based on the situation and those who are involved.…
