\u00a0<em>Arrival<\/em> is the story of 12 alien pods which come to Earth and our attempts to build a relationship and discover their reasons why.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There are two reasons to see this move<\/strong> – Amy Adams and a brilliant conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>The following are <strong>14 Leadership Quotes And Lessons From <em>Arrival<\/em> The Movie<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Good Meat Makes Its Own Gravy<\/strong> – There is no nudity or language in this movie. \u00a0Good storytelling does not need it. \u00a0Think about that.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Talent Matters To Your Success<\/strong> – <em>Arrival<\/em> is a good movie but it is Adams which takes this movie from good to great. \u00a0If you want your church, business, non-profit, or athletic organization to go to another level, get a talented leader.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your Confidence Flows From Your Memory<\/strong> – Banks said, “Memory is a strange thing. \u00a0We are bound by time. \u00a0By its order.” \u00a0For the Christian, when doubt sets in, your memory is your best friend. \u00a0Going back to God’s previous faithfulness in your life gives you the confidence needed for the days ahead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Competence And Expertise Are In High Demand<\/strong> – This is because there is so little of it. \u00a0Because of her expertise in linguistics, the military sought out Banks to negotiate with the aliens.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sticks And Stones May Break Your Bones But Words Can Cut You Deeply<\/strong> – Banks wrote, “Language is the first weapon drawn in conflict.”<\/li>\n<li><strong>Give People Something Before Asking Them For Something<\/strong> – When mathematics expert Ian Donnelly, played by Jeremy Ritter, wanted to immediately start testing the aliens’ intellect, Banks said, “Why don’t we talk to them before we start throwing math problems at them?”<\/li>\n<li><strong>High Functioning Teams Are Efficient And Use An Economy Of Words<\/strong> – As the military was going about their tasks, there was no wasted motion, energy or words.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Building Relationships Requires Courage<\/strong> – For Banks to build a relationship with the aliens and understand their language, she had to take many risks – putting on a claustrophobic suit, enter a spaceship, remove the suit, commit treason, and enter personal relationships she knew were doomed for failure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Building Relationships Requires Patience<\/strong> – Though pushed by the military for a swifter answer, it took months for Banks to decipher their language.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Everyone Has A Name<\/strong> – Psychologists state the sound people love to hear the most is their name. \u00a0Everyone has a name and everyone matters to Jesus.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Many Great Leaders Are Not Married<\/strong> – Banks said, “You can understand communication and still be single.”<\/li>\n<li><strong>Leaders Need To Broaden Their Perspective<\/strong> – Banks told a military official, “If all I ever gave you was a hammer…every problem is a nail.”<\/li>\n<li><strong>Great Leaders Ask Great Questions –<\/strong> “If you could see your whole life from start to finish would you change things?”<\/li>\n<li><strong>What Happens Last Is Often What Lasts<\/strong> – Candidly, aside from Adams, the pacing of the movie felt slow. \u00a0However, the ending is phenomenal. \u00a0As I left the movie, the film’s conclusion left a great taste in my mouth. \u00a0As you are taught in competitive sales environments, last impressions last.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Once again, if you are looking for an Oscar-worthy performance, go watch Amy Adams’s portrayal of Dr. Louise Banks. \u00a0It is an emotional masterpiece.<\/p>\n<p><a
