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> &#8211; 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> &#8211; <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> &#8211; Banks said, &#8220;Memory is a strange thing. \u00a0We are bound by time. \u00a0By its order.&#8221; \u00a0For the Christian, when doubt sets in, your memory is your best friend. \u00a0Going back to God&#8217;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> &#8211; 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> &#8211; Banks wrote, &#8220;Language is the first weapon drawn in conflict.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Give People Something Before Asking Them For Something<\/strong> &#8211; When mathematics expert Ian Donnelly, played by Jeremy Ritter, wanted to immediately start testing the aliens&#8217; intellect, Banks said, &#8220;Why don&#8217;t we talk to them before we start throwing math problems at them?&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>High Functioning Teams Are Efficient And Use An Economy Of Words<\/strong> &#8211; 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> &#8211; For Banks to build a relationship with the aliens and understand their language, she had to take many risks &#8211; 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> &#8211; 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> &#8211; 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> &#8211; Banks said, &#8220;You can understand communication and still be single.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Leaders Need To Broaden Their Perspective<\/strong> &#8211; Banks told a military official, &#8220;If all I ever gave you was a hammer&#8230;every problem is a nail.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Great Leaders Ask Great Questions &#8211;<\/strong> &#8220;If you could see your whole life from start to finish would you change things?&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>What Happens Last Is Often What Lasts<\/strong> &#8211; Candidly, aside from Adams, the pacing of the movie felt slow. \u00a0However, the ending is phenomenal. \u00a0As I left the movie, the film&#8217;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&#8217;s portrayal of Dr. Louise Banks. \u00a0It is an emotional masterpiece.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/briandoddonleadership.us4.list-manage.com\/subscribe?u=8cf82b4fe8b977ced00f17537&amp;id=9cf0d32f3b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-18442 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briandoddonleadership.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/1269.png?resize=250%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"1269\" width=\"250\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Click\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/briandoddonleadership.us4.list-manage.com\/subscribe?u=8cf82b4fe8b977ced00f17537&amp;id=9cf0d32f3b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">HERE<\/a>\u00a0or on the image to the left and as a free gift for subscribing to this site, you can receive\u00a0my new Ebook\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/briandoddonleadership.us4.list-manage.com\/subscribe?u=8cf82b4fe8b977ced00f17537&amp;id=9cf0d32f3b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><em><strong>1269 Leadership Quotes: Timeless Truths From 2016\u2019s Top Christian Leadership Conferences<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. \u00a0Featured are the Johnny Hunt Mens Conference, ReThink Leadership, Orange and Leadercast Conferences among others. \u00a0If applied, these insights will make you an exponentially better leader. \u00a0Enjoy!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amy Adams, as linguistics expect Dr. Louise Banks in the new movie Arrival, delivers an Oscar-worthy emotional tour de force. \u00a0Arrival is the story of 12 alien pods which come to Earth and our attempts to build a relationship and discover their reasons why.
