To be an effective mentoring leader you need to:-Д«e committed. LetвЂ™s take a look at each competence and relate them to the movie. In Mentoring Executives and Directors (1999) David Clutterbuck and David Megginson define mentoring as вЂњoff-line help by one person to another in making significant transitions in knowledge, work or thinking.вЂќ Clutterbuck (2004) provides a useful acronym to highlight the role of the mentor:Д«elow are five competences that are widely considered essential to be an effective mentoring leader. The word mentor originates from HomerвЂ™s Odyssey where Mentor was the trusted advisor and teacher of OdysseusвЂ™ son Telemachus. LetвЂ™s remind ourselves of the origins, role and core competences of mentoring. In the opening chapter of his book, Becoming an Effective Mentoring Leader, William Rothwell quotes from John Quincy Adams, second president of the United States: вЂњIf your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.вЂќ Kesuke Miyagi is a mentoring leader. The movie is a powerful demonstration of mentorship and the mentoring leader. By the end of the movie, Daniel acknowledges that Mr Miyagi has taught him more than just karate, but valuable life lessons (вЂњLesson not for karate onlyвЂ¦ lesson for whole lifeвЂ¦ вЂњ) Despite KreeseвЂ™s attempts to cheat in the tournament by ordering illegal hits on him, Daniel goes on to win the tournament, beating his adversaries. His unconventional teaching methods frustrate Daniel but it soon becomes obvious that they are effective as DanielвЂ™s technique and balance quickly improves. Conditions are set that Daniel is to be left alone if he competes in the All-Valley Karate Tournament and Mr. They visit the Cobra Kai club to meet with its sadistic sensei, John Kreese, an ex-Special Forces Vietnam veteran to seek a peace-offering. During one episode where the gang set on Daniel outside his apartment, he is helped by the apartmentвЂ™s aging вЂmaintenance guyвЂ™ Kesuke Miyagi an eccentric immigrant from Okinawan who uses the karate skill his father taught him to trounce them all.

Daniel experiences problems adjusting to his new life including being harassed and bullied by a vicious gang who belong to the Cobra Kai karate club. The film tells the story of a high school senior Daniel LaRusso who moves with his mother from Newark, New Jersey to Reseda in California.

The series seeks to explore leadership through the lens of select movies. This is part of a series of articles that combine two great passions of mine: leadership and movies. Even with Smith's annoying performance, the film has enough good elements to make it worth seeing.вЂњWe make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we giveвЂќ Even with all its flaws, the film does have an important message, standing up for yourself, and it makes you feel good as the lead character gets even by defining himself and defeating his bully in a karate tournament. Overall this is a fun, worthwhile film that succeeds just enough where most remakes fail.

I really liked the fact that the film was set in China, and it added an authentic flavor to the Karate Kid, which is what stands out the most about the film. The direction is good, but never great, and the plot does leave a lot for improvement. Although the film suffers from the usual remake aspects, such as not being able to capture the essence of the original, this is still a good flick, and it is very entertaining, but the original is far better. The fight scenes are great, very well done and intense as well.

He finally was able to make a good film after a few years doing bad ones. A performance that really stood out for me was that of Jackie Chan, I really am not a fan of his work, and he was wonderful here.

I mean really, the kid's acting is horrible. I personally feel that another actor could have played his part. The choice of the lead actor being Jaden Smith was questionable and I found him more annoying than anything. The movie was enjoyable, but there were many things that I didn't like. Respectable remake of the classic film of the same name, The Karate Kid is an entertaining, fun film for the entire family.
