In tonights readings I’m writing about : Leadership
Being the leader of a group can be such a powerful thing to have an opportunity to be part of. Leadership can be challenging, you have tons of responsibilities and you have a group to lead. Make sure that you are steering them in the right direction, make sure you know what you are doing. The biggest thing a leader can fear... Is failure to the group. McMurphy is a leader to the patients at the hospital McMurphy wants to lead them into the better and get them to live life better than what they do now in the hospital. I'll be explaining three ways that leadership is shown : to myself, society and text.
Many occasions I've been leader at a Leadership sports camp, school, work and Volunteer activities. sports camp I had to make sure everyone is going to the right sports assigned to them, made sure their visit was great, direct them to be able to express themselves and not to be afraid of who they are. It was such a great responsibility because I love helping people to get better. Like my career choice, physiotherapy. I like treating people that come from a rough state and i help them get better, i get to see the process of them getting better and changing themselves. I thrive off that :) I can see McMurphy wanting to help these people for almost his entertainment but also see's these patients giving away their lives to this hospital and to Ms Ratched. He makes a leader move and wants to make a change!
Society... Leadership? I find there are too many head honchos but not enough cheifs in the world. Example would be my work... We have 6 different managers but not enough staff to work. Also I could talk about Obama and Romney how they show leadership to change for the better as McMurphy does with the patients. Though Obama and Romney have a huge pile of people that hope for them to make a change. That's a huge responsibility I would be terrified because if you fail that's all on you and I don't think I could take in that criticism Obama shows he can be a leader by promising that people will have jobs, better health care and education. That's a huge promise and that takes courage to take on that responsibility.
One flew over the cuckoos nest honestly is all about McMurphy showing he's a leader. I compare him as Jesus, he leads the people and sacrifices himself for people to have internal life. As I talked about this one fear of being a leader is failure. At one part of the book though McMurphy realized he was a committed patient and knew he was going to be there for a long time. McMurphy suddenly doesn't support anyone, listens to Ratched and is silent. Everyone depended on Mcmurphy to help them to live better but they lost hope when McMurphy changes. When Cheswick drowned in the pool... McMurphy thought it was his fault that he killed himself because he never supported Cheswick. When he goes up to Ms Ratched and breaks the glass, everyone notices that they have hope for McMurphy and he's back! Its like he died and got resurrected again like Jesus? McMurphy is telling Ms Ratched that everyone knows about her controlling and etc. It takes a strong person to be free spirited and willingly stand up for people.
I honestly would love to meet McMurphy if he was real :)

Michelle - great post! I like that you showed that being a leader can be both altruistic and selfish at the same time. They say there is not selfless good deed because people feel good about their actions when they help others. Or that you can help others while still helping yourself as well. Good job bringing up this point. You're on to something with Jesus... keep reading :)
