Discussion Assignment
During the team meeting, we discussed the leadership
roles presented in the film. Examined the portrayal of strategic
leadership, especially by Queen Elizabeth and PM Tony Blair.
Outside research will be conducted to further discuss the
leadership contexts of: A) Inherited leadership roles and
positions VS elected leadership roles and positions and B)
Tradition-based leadership VS “Modern” leadership. Each
individual team member, identified possible conflicts
represented and the points of contention between leadership
models. Through advocacy and inquiry seek to find bridges
between the two and practice creative thinking to generate
innovative ways of “transcending” a conflict.
Communication and Discussion
Team Two utilized student emails to pass information
amongst the cohort for communication for seminar five’
Executive Summary assignment. Emails were used to recap
discussion points and expectations of each team member and
facilitated access for each member of this shared document for
editing. The utilization of the GroupMe application allowed for
quick communications and coordinated efforts.
Individual Summary Observations
Chi Maxey. Inherited Leadership Roles Vs. Elected
Leadership Roles and Positions
The inheritance of royal power presumably comes with
those inherited leadership roles. Leaders of monarch-type
societies are often solely in power without reservation, such as
Queen Elizabeth II. One could view inherited leadership roles
as a person who carries out the traditional aspects of leading as
learned from their predecessor. According to Burley (2017),
examples of traditions carried from the past would be dictators
and kings. The Great Man Theory regards inherited leadership
roles. According to researchers at New York University,
Harvard, and the University College London, they “found that a
DNA sequence that is passed through one’s genes is linked to
individuals in leadership positions” (Besant, 2013). The Great
Man Theory is said to have two expectations; they are people
born holding traits that help them lead, that they can rise when
the time is needed, and according to the Historian, Thomas
Carlyle, influential leaders have the gift of “divine inspiration”
and the “right characteristics” (Cherry, 2018; Villanova
University, 2015). I argue that Queen Elizabeth II bins with
one of these concepts, not both and that inherited leadership
roles of her ties with tradition-based leadership; however,
Queen Elizabeth II did, and with the assistance of Tony Blair,
did “rise when the time was needed,” eventually.
Elected leadership roles such as Tony Blair’s, is tied with
modern leadership. Opposite of the monarch-type traditional
leadership, elected leadership incorporated roles such as co-
collaboration, transformation, democratic, coaching, and
visionary. Considering Harries, Langan, Seaward, & Frears’
(2006) movie, The Queen, the inverse to the tradition-based
leadership roles (inherited), elected and modern leadership is
intended to serve the people, whereas the other, the people
serve the Monarch.
Tradition-based Leadership Vs. Modern Leadership. According
to Burley (2017), Max Weber was the first to define traditional
leadership and explained it as “a style where power is given to
the leader based on traditions of the past” (para.1). "Modern
leadership include qualities of values, commitment, mission,
vision, compromise, motivation, and “it is their responsibility to
develop followership by encouraging” and “the participation in
goal setting and objectives” (Thomas, n.d., section 2, para. 8).
“The Queen,” portrayed Princess Diana with modern leadership
values and it illustrates Tony Blair’s in Harries’ et al. (2006)
movie. Queen Elizabeth II almost seemed to lean towards some
aspects of modern leadership, but the re-enforcement of the
monarch ideology performed on behalf of, The Queen Mother
and her husband Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh, took place
throughout the movie.
Possible Conflicts and Transcendence. The struggles identified
in Harries’ et al. (2006) are the values and beliefs of Tony
Blair, and Princess Diane contended with Queen Elizabeth and
Phillip. The opinion is that the Queen becomes conflicted
between modern leadership influence of Tony Blair and the
upkeep of Phillip’s and The Queen Mother’s monarch
ideological influences.
Points of Contention. The disputes between tradition-based
leadership and modern leadership are that the two becomes
merged as “modern traditional leadership.” If we view tradition
and modern leadership separately through their lenses, there is a
clear distinction between the two. Thoroughly scratching below
the surface, identified modern traditional leadership is in
corporations, civil authorities, and the government. Rendering
Burley (2017), modern illustrations of old-fashioned leadership
found on organization charts where they depict the pyramid
construct, gives authority, and it insinuates that traditional
leadership resides in a company. Board of directors, executive
boards, or a CEO resides in the “eye” of the pyramid construct,
and this place is where decisions are made and directed down.
He further explains that “today’s military is an excellent
example of traditional leadership. Officers and leaders “make
decisions and those under their command execute the orders”
(para. 3). Traditional leadership models also found, is the in
police and fire departments (Burley, 2017).
Transcendence of Bridges. Blair served as a bridge between the
people and Queen Elizabeth II. He notes that Princess Diana is
the “peoples princess” which led his pursuit to have her funeral
public, not private. Queen Elizabeth II viewed this differently,
that her funeral shall be private and the choice of her family,
since the princess was not a member of the Royal Family. Blair
continued to bridge ideas and information from the public, such
as a tabloid’s publication of a poll suggesting that “70% of
people believe that” her “actions have damaged the monarchy”
and that “one in four are in favor of abolishing the monarchy
altogether” (Harries et al., 2006, scene 24). A traditional leader
does not always welcome new ideas as he or she is usually the
source for all new business and ways of operating. Without
input from her team, the traditional leader is often unaware of
changes and problems and is slow to react to change. (Burley,
2017, para.5)
Constitutionally responsible, Tony Blair intrusively made her
cognizant and understanding of the information and views from
society. The Queen slightly shifted in values, commanding the
half-mast of flags. When the Queen exited her car with Phillip,
the Duke of Edinburgh, to see Princess Diane’s place of
mourning at Buckingham Palace, the news reported that the last
day “the Queen was among her people outside the palace was
the day the war in Europe ended” (Harries et al., 2006, scene
29). The people silently spoke to the Queen of how they feel
about the princess through the flowers and memorabilia placed
at the princess’ place of mourning; despite the views of the
people of England, they showed respect to Queen Elizabeth II as
she walked the perimeter of the crowd (Harries et al., 2006,
scene 30).
When the Queen delivered a tribute to Princess Diana over live
television, she portrayed “authentic” leadership to the people
and delivered a message the people of England wanted to hear,
or perhaps needed to hear. Tony Blair’s wife, Cherie, says to
him, “Heart, what heart? She doesn’t mean a word of this,” and
Tony responds with, “That’s not the point. What she’s doing is
extraordinary. That’s how to survive” (scent 31). Although the
Queen did the right thing, it was not genuine to her, nor was she
comfortable, moved, and applauding at the end of Earl
Spencer’s eulogy of his sister, Princess Diana (Harries et al.,
2006, scene 32). The Queen’s rhetoric of her tribute and her
presence at Princess Diana’s funeral was a modern leadership
role she played, to “survive.”
Mathew Lehnig. The stage is set right from the begging, in
the first nine minutes of the film inherited roles and elected
roles are clearly defined. The movie begins with a quote from
Henry IV, PART II “UNEASY LIES THE HEAD THAT
WEARS A CROWN.” The Queen sits with her Mr. Crawford,
her painter, and discuss voting. In the background on the
Television, Tony Blair was just elected the youngest Prime
Minister. The Queen is not partial and cannot Vote, but she
understands fully that it is her government. The Queen is
addressed by Robin and told that the Prime Minister is on his
way, she quickly remarks; ‘The Prime Minister-to-be, I haven’t
asked him yet.” A discussion between the Queen and Robin
about Tony Blair’s Manifesto that promises the most radical
modernization and a shake-up of the Constitution in 300 years
is met with criticism. Outside his wife, who is an anti-
monarchist, reminds him that he was elected by the whole
Nation.
The difference in governance and protocol is quickly shown in
Mr. Blair’s first meeting with the Queen. The Queen
understands her roles and responsibilities to this Nation is to
advise, guide, and warn the government of the day and
reminding Mr. Blair he is her 10th Prime Minister. The Queen
also tells Mr. Blair, with a hand gesture, to bow to her to
receive her acceptance of his position as Prime Minister. “The
duty falls on me as your sovereign, to invite you to become
Prime Minister, and form a government in my name.” He agrees
and has to kiss her hand. These actions clearly define the
hierarchy in a Monarch regardless of an elected Prime Minister.
The film revolves around the death of Princess Diana and how
the Queen and Mr. Tony Blair decide to handle the events that
follow. The primary focus is centered on Princess Diana’s
funeral and whether it should be private or public. The Queen
feels Diana’s family feels it should be a private matter because
she is no longer a part of the Royal family. However, Tony
Blair engages with the public and makes a brief but powerful
statement; “She will be remembered as the People’s Princess.”
The Royal Family is betrothed by old ways and hereditary
privilege to understand how the country has changed. Both Tony
Blair and Prince Charles see the change and are trying to
convince the Queen to understand the magnitude of the
situation. Not only that, but the tabloids are starting to turn on
the royal family. Tony Blair calls the Queen to convince her of
some kind of response because the mood is quite delicate. He
suggests that she to fly the flag half-mast at Buckingham Palace
and fly down to London. However, she denies and believes the
press is the problem and will not bend to their will. Tony Blair
works diligently with the press, but it not him they want to see
it is the Royal Family. Mr. Blair tries desperately to be the face,
but the public wants the Queen to come to London. The Queen
starts to understand when the people begin to sleep outside of
Buckingham Palace in anticipation for the Princess Funeral.
The Prime Minister becomes relentless in his pursuit of the
Queen to make an appearance. The situation has become quite
critical and that 70% of the people believe the Queen has
damaged the Monarchy and 1-4 people believe it should be
abolished. Her inherited privilege has led to this dire situation,
but a true leader of the people has stepped up and given the
Queen the advice she needs to do the right thing. The Queen
goes back and forth with the old ways but tries to understand
the new. In the end, she follows the Prime Ministers advice and
makes a public appearance on behalf of the Royal family and
delivers a televised address to the world.
Understanding your people is one of the earliest things we learn
in leadership. The Queen didn’t understand this; she was raised
in a Monarch. She was told every day that the people would
love and respect her no matter what. She ruled the country for
over fifty years without genuinely knowing her constitutions.
Tony Blair, an elected leader of his people, showed the Queen
what was right and necessary to uphold the values of the people.
Tony Blair, not only leads his people, but he leads his Queen
regardless of her outlook on the matter. In the end, a common
bond was built between the two, and the Mentor became the
Mentored.
Joshua . Who holds the real power for the country? Is it the
Queen or the Prime Minister? I would like to see what the
results would look like with a survey of the citizens of the
United Kingdom. The answers will drastically vary depending
on the perspective of the individuals if they are looking at the
questions literally or practically.
At the beginning of the film, the scene opens with the Queen's
first interaction with the newly elected Prime Minister Tony
Blair. During their brief conversation, she laid out her extensive
history and wisdom of dealing with Prime Ministers. She even
went as far as bringing up the late Winston Churchill as an
example for whose shoes Tony will have to fill. Though the
people elected the Prime Minister, the customary action of the
Queen offering the position to Tony Blair made for quite an
awkward interaction. This uncomfortable engagement was the
first of many throughout the film, but we would eventually see
the transformation of the Prime Minister into the leader that
stands for the people.
John F. Kennedy said, “…those who look only to the past are
certain to miss the future.” I believe that the Queen was on the
verge of falling into this very predicament with her actions after
the passing of Princess Diana. The overall persona of the Queen
can be described merely as Stoic. She felt that her duty was to
the country and her feels came second. Over the previous years
of service, this method worked well for the Queen. However, a
change in the people had occurred where the people hoped for a
more personal leader, and the Queen was still stuck in her old
ways.
The Queen's assistant provided Tony Blair with insight to the
Queen that opened up his view of her. The assistant stated that
the Queen truly felt as though she was hand selected by God to
be in her position. This self-pressure gave a new appreciation
for all that the Queen was going through with the weight of the
country on her shoulders.
Luckily for the Queen, she had an unexpected ally on her side.
This ally was none other than the Prime Minister who
throughout the film has been contrarian at best. He was able to
be direct and honest with the truth on the ground for how the
people felt about the Queen. She was living obliviously to what
the fact was about the public perspective of her. Tony’s
bluntness to the situation was the smack in the face that was
required to get the Queen acting in the best way for the country.
She finally made the public appearance to address the passing
of Princess Diana that the country and the world longed for.
Without the bold actions of Tony Blair the end result for the
Queen and country could have a much different outcome. His
leadership and understanding of what the people needed was
paramount.
Nate. In Harries, Langan, Seaward, and Frears (2006) film
The Queen, it is depicted that Queen Elizabeth II and newly
elected Prime Minister (PM) Tony Blair were struggling with a
crisis of public perception with regards to the sudden and tragic
death of Princess Diana. PM Blair, who was elected to bring
change to British Society, believed that the royal family was
sending the wrong message to their subjects by remaining silent
about Diana’s death, who was widely viewed by the general
public as one of the people. The Queen’s decision to close
ranks, shield the family, and remain silent was made based on
what she thought what was right and proper due to her
upbringing and established traditional practices.
Where the Queen viewed the death and mourning of Diana
as a private family affair, she failed to realize that society had
established a very deep and emotional bond to the memory of
the late People’s Princess. The family’s silence created dissent
amongst the people as they were looking for leadership from the
royal family in this tumultuous time and who felt that the royals
didn’t care. Personally, the family (other than the princes) had a
contentious relationship with Diana towards the end of her life
and they took it on the chin in the court of public opinion
during that time. There is where the optics of silence equated to
the family being out of touch with the common man and did not
care of things happening outside the palace walls.
Strategically, PM Blair could not ask for a better
opportunity to drive home his message of change with the
populace and his advisors, along with his wife, were pressuring
him to capitalize on the optics of the situation. Rahm Emanuel,
former presidential Chief of Staff, once quipped: You never
want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that
it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do
before (2008). PM Blair’s reluctance to use the chance to gain
public favor by grandstanding the royal family and instead
plead with the Queen to reconsider her decisions showed more
to his personal character and understanding of his role as Prime
Minister, than what he was being advised to do.
Inherited Leadership Roles and Positions vs Elected Leadership
Roles and Positions
Inherited leadership roles and positions are those that are
passed down through a line of succession and are endowed with
rights, privileges, responsibilities, traditions, customs, and
courtesies set forth by predecessors, such as the royal line of
the British Monarchy. According to Royal.uk (2016), British
kings and queens serve as Head of State where their function is
to “act as a focus for national identity, unity and pride; gives a
sense of stability and continuity; officially recognises success
and excellence; and supports the ideal of voluntary service.” In
modern times, their role to protect the kingdom, generate trade,
and tend to the poor remains some of their primary tenants, yet
it is done so under the purview of Parliament.
British elected roles, like the Prime Minister, find their
beginnings stemming for the Magna Carta of 1215 where it was
established that barons (chosen by the king) were to consult the
king on matters of government and the 1254 mandate that
County Sheriffs were to represent issues of taxation. It was not
until the reign of King Henry IV that the practice of electing
representatives to what has now become their executive branch
of government. Thus, through Parliamentary acts over several
hundred years, only those who are elected to the Houses of
Lords and the House of Commons have the authority to
introduce legislation that may in turn become law (History.com,
2017).
Tradition-based Leadership vs “Modern” Leadership.
Tradition is what connects us to our past which, in the case of
the British monarchy, comes with hundreds of years of
internally driven pressure to ensure the continued success of the
royal family line. This royal line stems from aristocratic wealth
which formed the basis of upper-class society who were the
default leaders of their time and their leadership practices are
therefore based those that came out of aristocratic society.
While time and societal progress have since limited the function
of the Monarchy, royals have become expected to present
themselves as leaders to which their self-interests are secondary
to their duties to the British empire and its people.
Modern leadership though relies more on a collaborative
effort that solicits inputs from all those involved rather than a
tradition-based model that is beholden to its past in order to
make decisions. As social and cultural values changes, modern
leadership models and practices change and is also presented
with its own challenges of accountability, especially in today’s
Age of Information. What is said now, is readily available half-
way around the world within a matter of seconds. Getting out in
front of an issue has become a continuous game of tag.
Possible Conflicts and Points of Contention
Traditions are what define us as a culture and society and can
be a powerful motivator when they are deep rooted in the
collective subconscious of a given populace after hundreds or
thousands of years. Traditions give us identity, modernization
gives us change, and change threatens tradition which
challenges identity and has contributed to conflict throughout
time. While not all change is bad or completely detrimental to
tradition, it is when there is immediate, rather than gradual,
change that those bound to tradition feel threatened.
Bridges for Conflict Resolution
Where PM Blair showed his true leadership was in
protecting the Crown from itself, much to the chagrin of his
staff and anti-royal wife. He showed great restraint and acted in
the best interest of the country at a time that they truly needed
it. His humility and respect for the Crown despite political
differences may have been what ultimately convinced Queen
Elizabeth to finally address her country and the world.
For her part, it took great personal courage to forgo royal
protocols (and the pressures of her husband and the Queen
Mother) and include the public into the family’s grieving
process. Heavy is the head that wears the crown who must not
only lead their own country, but their own family as well.
Stoicism, while commendable, is not always what is needed
from leadership in times of crisis and fortunately Queen
Elizabeth was humble enough to realize something had to
change.
Leadership roles presented in the film
Queen Elizabeth shows a diversity of leadership roles
from the film in that she shows aspects of a decision maker
(Chreim, 2015). From the widespread controversy following the
death of Diana in a car crash, she decides to address the public
through the television in order to end their endless doubts
following Diana’s death. Her speech to the public was also
meant to end their controversies concerning the Royal family as
to why they were not present during the funeral of Diana and
had opted to go for a vacation at Balmoral. She further brings
out how Diana has been of great significance to the whole
society at large.
From the film, Blair who was the elected prime minister shows
aspects of concern and for the public (Danilova, 2015). He cares
about what the public thinks and therefore takes charge of
responding to their outcry. He is as well responsible in the same
case as he takes the responsibility of representing the royal
family during the funeral of Diana and address the public as to
why the Royal family could not make it to the funeral.
Blaire as well shows persistence in his leadership roles as in the
case of the queen who shows resistance in his various attempts
to guide the royal family but still goes ahead to seek advice
from other elders.
Leadership contexts of inherited leadership roles VS elected
leadership roles and positions
Inherited kind of leadership rotates around a family
therefore leadership is always passed down from one family
member to the other. In this case it could either be from a father
to the eldest son (Boyatzis, Rochford & Jack, 2014). This kind
of leadership should in most cases not be advocated for because
the heir to the thrown might have inadequacy of leadership
skills therefore his roles might not be to the full expectations of
the public. They might have little knowledge on the given
leadership role or otherwise uneducated and interested on
something different from ruling. Elected type of leadership has
much impact on any given society since the person elected
could be as a result of the public opinion in that the people are
able practice democracy and elect the leader of their choice who
is able to help solve their different problems within the society.
In most cases elected leaders are usually educated and
understand the needs of their people.
Tradition-based leadership VS Modern leadership
Tradition based leaders always govern their various
people based on their different cultures therefore leadership
goes according to the norms of a society (Baker, 2014). The
people are therefore expected to follow certain kinds of
traditions and their leaders as well lead according to the
traditions and culture of the society. This kind of leadership
always follow specific rules of the society that could otherwise
be set aside by the other rulers years ago. Modern leadership is
very systematic and takes the aspect of elected leaders in that
leaders are elected by other members of the society. They
govern the people according to the constitution system of a
given government.
The Queen (Helen Mirren) is a movie portraying how the
Queen and Prince Philip handled and reacted to the death of
Princess Diana of Wales. The movie starts out by showing the
1997 general election for Tony Blair (Michael Sheen), who was
elected as Prime Minister for the Labour Party. Tony Blair main
goal was to modernize the country, knowing that Queen
Elizabeth II was set in her old ways. The death of the “ Peoples
Princess” starts a change within Great Britain and the Royal
Family no one excepted to happen. The Royal family and the
Spencer’s were set on making the funeral a private affair. But
Tony Blair and Prince Charles had other ideas; their idea was to
let the general public grief the death of the People Princess.
Tony Blair tried to help guide the Royal Family through the
controversy, but was met with resistance from the Royal
Family. According to Thomas, Schermerhorn, & Dienhart
(2004) “Ethics mindfulness can also result in an ethical
judgment and action that is virtually simultaneous with
confronting an issue”. Queen Elizabeth II dealt with this issue
big time! Her decision to try and maintain her royal protocol
was a bad decision for the Republicanism. It took Tony Blair
multiple times to call and convince the Queen to change her
ways to being more modern. It took her to go out and try to
cross a river for her to realize what was going on. Queen
Elizabeth II had to come forward and show her support for the
death of Princess Diana. She pays a public tribute on live
television to what Princess Diana did for the nation and society.
At the end Queen Elizabeth II told Tony Blair that the same way
the nation turned on her, they will turn on him.

  • 1. Team TWO Seminar Five Team Executive Summary The Examination of Aristotle’s Rhetoric in 12 Angry Men Mathew Lehnig, Kerry (KC) Carter, Chi “Max” Maxey, Sean Gerner, Greg Swendsen, Tywon “Ty” Petty, and Nate Hurst University of Charleston GSL 510 A & S of Strategic Leadership Dr. Andrew Sidwell February 2019 Discussion Assignment During the team meeting, we discussed the leadership roles presented in the film. Examined the portrayal of strategic leadership, especially by Queen Elizabeth and PM Tony Blair. Outside research will be conducted to further discuss the leadership contexts of: A) Inherited leadership roles and positions VS elected leadership roles and positions and B) Tradition-based leadership VS “Modern” leadership. Each individual team member, identified possible conflicts represented and the points of contention between leadership models. Through advocacy and inquiry seek to find bridges between the two and practice creative thinking to generate
  • 2. innovative ways of “transcending” a conflict. Communication and Discussion Team Two utilized student emails to pass information amongst the cohort for communication for seminar five’ Executive Summary assignment. Emails were used to recap discussion points and expectations of each team member and facilitated access for each member of this shared document for editing. The utilization of the GroupMe application allowed for quick communications and coordinated efforts. Individual Summary Observations Chi Maxey. Inherited Leadership Roles Vs. Elected Leadership Roles and Positions The inheritance of royal power presumably comes with those inherited leadership roles. Leaders of monarch-type societies are often solely in power without reservation, such as Queen Elizabeth II. One could view inherited leadership roles as a person who carries out the traditional aspects of leading as learned from their predecessor. According to Burley (2017), examples of traditions carried from the past would be dictators and kings. The Great Man Theory regards inherited leadership roles. According to researchers at New York University, Harvard, and the University College London, they “found that a DNA sequence that is passed through one’s genes is linked to individuals in leadership positions” (Besant, 2013). The Great Man Theory is said to have two expectations; they are people born holding traits that help them lead, that they can rise when the time is needed, and according to the Historian, Thomas Carlyle, influential leaders have the gift of “divine inspiration” and the “right characteristics” (Cherry, 2018; Villanova University, 2015). I argue that Queen Elizabeth II bins with one of these concepts, not both and that inherited leadership roles of her ties with tradition-based leadership; however, Queen Elizabeth II did, and with the assistance of Tony Blair, did “rise when the time was needed,” eventually.
  • 3. Elected leadership roles such as Tony Blair’s, is tied with modern leadership. Opposite of the monarch-type traditional leadership, elected leadership incorporated roles such as co- collaboration, transformation, democratic, coaching, and visionary. Considering Harries, Langan, Seaward, & Frears’ (2006) movie, The Queen, the inverse to the tradition-based leadership roles (inherited), elected and modern leadership is intended to serve the people, whereas the other, the people serve the Monarch. Tradition-based Leadership Vs. Modern Leadership. According to Burley (2017), Max Weber was the first to define traditional leadership and explained it as “a style where power is given to the leader based on traditions of the past” (para.1). "Modern leadership include qualities of values, commitment, mission, vision, compromise, motivation, and “it is their responsibility to develop followership by encouraging” and “the participation in goal setting and objectives” (Thomas, n.d., section 2, para. 8). “The Queen,” portrayed Princess Diana with modern leadership values and it illustrates Tony Blair’s in Harries’ et al. (2006) movie. Queen Elizabeth II almost seemed to lean towards some aspects of modern leadership, but the re-enforcement of the monarch ideology performed on behalf of, The Queen Mother and her husband Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh, took place throughout the movie. Possible Conflicts and Transcendence. The struggles identified in Harries’ et al. (2006) are the values and beliefs of Tony Blair, and Princess Diane contended with Queen Elizabeth and Phillip. The opinion is that the Queen becomes conflicted between modern leadership influence of Tony Blair and the upkeep of Phillip’s and The Queen Mother’s monarch ideological influences. Points of Contention. The disputes between tradition-based leadership and modern leadership are that the two becomes merged as “modern traditional leadership.” If we view tradition and modern leadership separately through their lenses, there is a clear distinction between the two. Thoroughly scratching below
  • 4. the surface, identified modern traditional leadership is in corporations, civil authorities, and the government. Rendering Burley (2017), modern illustrations of old-fashioned leadership found on organization charts where they depict the pyramid construct, gives authority, and it insinuates that traditional leadership resides in a company. Board of directors, executive boards, or a CEO resides in the “eye” of the pyramid construct, and this place is where decisions are made and directed down. He further explains that “today’s military is an excellent example of traditional leadership. Officers and leaders “make decisions and those under their command execute the orders” (para. 3). Traditional leadership models also found, is the in police and fire departments (Burley, 2017). Transcendence of Bridges. Blair served as a bridge between the people and Queen Elizabeth II. He notes that Princess Diana is the “peoples princess” which led his pursuit to have her funeral public, not private. Queen Elizabeth II viewed this differently, that her funeral shall be private and the choice of her family, since the princess was not a member of the Royal Family. Blair continued to bridge ideas and information from the public, such as a tabloid’s publication of a poll suggesting that “70% of people believe that” her “actions have damaged the monarchy” and that “one in four are in favor of abolishing the monarchy altogether” (Harries et al., 2006, scene 24). A traditional leader does not always welcome new ideas as he or she is usually the source for all new business and ways of operating. Without input from her team, the traditional leader is often unaware of changes and problems and is slow to react to change. (Burley, 2017, para.5) Constitutionally responsible, Tony Blair intrusively made her cognizant and understanding of the information and views from society. The Queen slightly shifted in values, commanding the half-mast of flags. When the Queen exited her car with Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh, to see Princess Diane’s place of mourning at Buckingham Palace, the news reported that the last day “the Queen was among her people outside the palace was
  • 5. the day the war in Europe ended” (Harries et al., 2006, scene 29). The people silently spoke to the Queen of how they feel about the princess through the flowers and memorabilia placed at the princess’ place of mourning; despite the views of the people of England, they showed respect to Queen Elizabeth II as she walked the perimeter of the crowd (Harries et al., 2006, scene 30). When the Queen delivered a tribute to Princess Diana over live television, she portrayed “authentic” leadership to the people and delivered a message the people of England wanted to hear, or perhaps needed to hear. Tony Blair’s wife, Cherie, says to him, “Heart, what heart? She doesn’t mean a word of this,” and Tony responds with, “That’s not the point. What she’s doing is extraordinary. That’s how to survive” (scent 31). Although the Queen did the right thing, it was not genuine to her, nor was she comfortable, moved, and applauding at the end of Earl Spencer’s eulogy of his sister, Princess Diana (Harries et al., 2006, scene 32). The Queen’s rhetoric of her tribute and her presence at Princess Diana’s funeral was a modern leadership role she played, to “survive.” Mathew Lehnig. The stage is set right from the begging, in the first nine minutes of the film inherited roles and elected roles are clearly defined. The movie begins with a quote from Henry IV, PART II “UNEASY LIES THE HEAD THAT WEARS A CROWN.” The Queen sits with her Mr. Crawford, her painter, and discuss voting. In the background on the Television, Tony Blair was just elected the youngest Prime Minister. The Queen is not partial and cannot Vote, but she understands fully that it is her government. The Queen is addressed by Robin and told that the Prime Minister is on his way, she quickly remarks; ‘The Prime Minister-to-be, I haven’t asked him yet.” A discussion between the Queen and Robin about Tony Blair’s Manifesto that promises the most radical modernization and a shake-up of the Constitution in 300 years is met with criticism. Outside his wife, who is an anti-
  • 6. monarchist, reminds him that he was elected by the whole Nation. The difference in governance and protocol is quickly shown in Mr. Blair’s first meeting with the Queen. The Queen understands her roles and responsibilities to this Nation is to advise, guide, and warn the government of the day and reminding Mr. Blair he is her 10th Prime Minister. The Queen also tells Mr. Blair, with a hand gesture, to bow to her to receive her acceptance of his position as Prime Minister. “The duty falls on me as your sovereign, to invite you to become Prime Minister, and form a government in my name.” He agrees and has to kiss her hand. These actions clearly define the hierarchy in a Monarch regardless of an elected Prime Minister. The film revolves around the death of Princess Diana and how the Queen and Mr. Tony Blair decide to handle the events that follow. The primary focus is centered on Princess Diana’s funeral and whether it should be private or public. The Queen feels Diana’s family feels it should be a private matter because she is no longer a part of the Royal family. However, Tony Blair engages with the public and makes a brief but powerful statement; “She will be remembered as the People’s Princess.” The Royal Family is betrothed by old ways and hereditary privilege to understand how the country has changed. Both Tony Blair and Prince Charles see the change and are trying to convince the Queen to understand the magnitude of the situation. Not only that, but the tabloids are starting to turn on the royal family. Tony Blair calls the Queen to convince her of some kind of response because the mood is quite delicate. He suggests that she to fly the flag half-mast at Buckingham Palace and fly down to London. However, she denies and believes the press is the problem and will not bend to their will. Tony Blair works diligently with the press, but it not him they want to see it is the Royal Family. Mr. Blair tries desperately to be the face, but the public wants the Queen to come to London. The Queen starts to understand when the people begin to sleep outside of Buckingham Palace in anticipation for the Princess Funeral.
  • 7. The Prime Minister becomes relentless in his pursuit of the Queen to make an appearance. The situation has become quite critical and that 70% of the people believe the Queen has damaged the Monarchy and 1-4 people believe it should be abolished. Her inherited privilege has led to this dire situation, but a true leader of the people has stepped up and given the Queen the advice she needs to do the right thing. The Queen goes back and forth with the old ways but tries to understand the new. In the end, she follows the Prime Ministers advice and makes a public appearance on behalf of the Royal family and delivers a televised address to the world. Understanding your people is one of the earliest things we learn in leadership. The Queen didn’t understand this; she was raised in a Monarch. She was told every day that the people would love and respect her no matter what. She ruled the country for over fifty years without genuinely knowing her constitutions. Tony Blair, an elected leader of his people, showed the Queen what was right and necessary to uphold the values of the people. Tony Blair, not only leads his people, but he leads his Queen regardless of her outlook on the matter. In the end, a common bond was built between the two, and the Mentor became the Mentored. Joshua . Who holds the real power for the country? Is it the Queen or the Prime Minister? I would like to see what the results would look like with a survey of the citizens of the United Kingdom. The answers will drastically vary depending on the perspective of the individuals if they are looking at the questions literally or practically. At the beginning of the film, the scene opens with the Queen's first interaction with the newly elected Prime Minister Tony Blair. During their brief conversation, she laid out her extensive history and wisdom of dealing with Prime Ministers. She even went as far as bringing up the late Winston Churchill as an example for whose shoes Tony will have to fill. Though the

This uncomfortable engagement was the first of many throughout the film, but we would eventually see the transformation of the Prime Minister into the leader that stands for the people. John F. Kennedy said, “…those who look only to the past are certain to miss the future.” I believe that the Queen was on the verge of falling into this very predicament with her actions after the passing of Princess Diana. The overall persona of the Queen can be described merely as Stoic. She felt that her duty was to the country and her feels came second. Over the previous years of service, this method worked well for the Queen. However, a change in the people had occurred where the people hoped for a more personal leader, and the Queen was still stuck in her old ways. The Queen's assistant provided Tony Blair with insight to the Queen that opened up his view of her. The assistant stated that the Queen truly felt as though she was hand selected by God to be in her position. This self-pressure gave a new appreciation for all that the Queen was going through with the weight of the country on her shoulders. Luckily for the Queen, she had an unexpected ally on her side. This ally was none other than the Prime Minister who throughout the film has been contrarian at best. He was able to be direct and honest with the truth on the ground for how the people felt about the Queen. She was living obliviously to what the fact was about the public perspective of her. Tony’s bluntness to the situation was the smack in the face that was required to get the Queen acting in the best way for the country. She finally made the public appearance to address the passing of Princess Diana that the country and the world longed for. Without the bold actions of Tony Blair the end result for the

In Harries, Langan, Seaward, and Frears (2006) film The Queen, it is depicted that Queen Elizabeth II and newly elected Prime Minister (PM) Tony Blair were struggling with a crisis of public perception with regards to the sudden and tragic death of Princess Diana. PM Blair, who was elected to bring change to British Society, believed that the royal family was sending the wrong message to their subjects by remaining silent about Diana’s death, who was widely viewed by the general public as one of the people. The Queen’s decision to close ranks, shield the family, and remain silent was made based on what she thought what was right and proper due to her upbringing and established traditional practices. Where the Queen viewed the death and mourning of Diana as a private family affair, she failed to realize that society had established a very deep and emotional bond to the memory of the late People’s Princess. The family’s silence created dissent amongst the people as they were looking for leadership from the royal family in this tumultuous time and who felt that the royals didn’t care. Personally, the family (other than the princes) had a contentious relationship with Diana towards the end of her life and they took it on the chin in the court of public opinion during that time. There is where the optics of silence equated to the family being out of touch with the common man and did not care of things happening outside the palace walls. Strategically, PM Blair could not ask for a better opportunity to drive home his message of change with the populace and his advisors, along with his wife, were pressuring him to capitalize on the optics of the situation. Rahm Emanuel, former presidential Chief of Staff, once quipped: You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before (2008). PM Blair’s reluctance to use the chance to gain
  • 10. public favor by grandstanding the royal family and instead plead with the Queen to reconsider her decisions showed more to his personal character and understanding of his role as Prime Minister, than what he was being advised to do. Inherited Leadership Roles and Positions vs Elected Leadership Roles and Positions Inherited leadership roles and positions are those that are passed down through a line of succession and are endowed with rights, privileges, responsibilities, traditions, customs, and courtesies set forth by predecessors, such as the royal line of the British Monarchy. According to Royal.uk (2016), British kings and queens serve as Head of State where their function is to “act as a focus for national identity, unity and pride; gives a sense of stability and continuity; officially recognises success and excellence; and supports the ideal of voluntary service.” In modern times, their role to protect the kingdom, generate trade, and tend to the poor remains some of their primary tenants, yet it is done so under the purview of Parliament. British elected roles, like the Prime Minister, find their beginnings stemming for the Magna Carta of 1215 where it was established that barons (chosen by the king) were to consult the king on matters of government and the 1254 mandate that County Sheriffs were to represent issues of taxation. It was not until the reign of King Henry IV that the practice of electing representatives to what has now become their executive branch of government. Thus, through Parliamentary acts over several hundred years, only those who are elected to the Houses of Lords and the House of Commons have the authority to introduce legislation that may in turn become law (History.com, 2017). Tradition-based Leadership vs “Modern” Leadership. Tradition is what connects us to our past which, in the case of the British monarchy, comes with hundreds of years of internally driven pressure to ensure the continued success of the royal family line. This royal line stems from aristocratic wealth which formed the basis of upper-class society who were the
  • 11. default leaders of their time and their leadership practices are therefore based those that came out of aristocratic society. While time and societal progress have since limited the function of the Monarchy, royals have become expected to present themselves as leaders to which their self-interests are secondary to their duties to the British empire and its people. Modern leadership though relies more on a collaborative effort that solicits inputs from all those involved rather than a tradition-based model that is beholden to its past in order to make decisions. As social and cultural values changes, modern leadership models and practices change and is also presented with its own challenges of accountability, especially in today’s Age of Information. What is said now, is readily available half- way around the world within a matter of seconds. Getting out in front of an issue has become a continuous game of tag. Possible Conflicts and Points of Contention Traditions are what define us as a culture and society and can be a powerful motivator when they are deep rooted in the collective subconscious of a given populace after hundreds or thousands of years. Traditions give us identity, modernization gives us change, and change threatens tradition which challenges identity and has contributed to conflict throughout time. While not all change is bad or completely detrimental to tradition, it is when there is immediate, rather than gradual, change that those bound to tradition feel threatened. Bridges for Conflict Resolution Where PM Blair showed his true leadership was in protecting the Crown from itself, much to the chagrin of his staff and anti-royal wife. He showed great restraint and acted in the best interest of the country at a time that they truly needed it. His humility and respect for the Crown despite political differences may have been what ultimately convinced Queen Elizabeth to finally address her country and the world. For her part, it took great personal courage to forgo royal protocols (and the pressures of her husband and the Queen Mother) and include the public into the family’s grieving
  • 12. process. Heavy is the head that wears the crown who must not only lead their own country, but their own family as well. Stoicism, while commendable, is not always what is needed from leadership in times of crisis and fortunately Queen Elizabeth was humble enough to realize something had to change. Leadership roles presented in the film Queen Elizabeth shows a diversity of leadership roles from the film in that she shows aspects of a decision maker (Chreim, 2015). From the widespread controversy following the death of Diana in a car crash, she decides to address the public through the television in order to end their endless doubts following Diana’s death. Her speech to the public was also meant to end their controversies concerning the Royal family as to why they were not present during the funeral of Diana and had opted to go for a vacation at Balmoral. She further brings out how Diana has been of great significance to the whole society at large. From the film, Blair who was the elected prime minister shows aspects of concern and for the public (Danilova, 2015). He cares about what the public thinks and therefore takes charge of responding to their outcry. He is as well responsible in the same case as he takes the responsibility of representing the royal family during the funeral of Diana and address the public as to why the Royal family could not make it to the funeral. Blaire as well shows persistence in his leadership roles as in the case of the queen who shows resistance in his various attempts to guide the royal family but still goes ahead to seek advice from other elders. Leadership contexts of inherited leadership roles VS elected leadership roles and positions Inherited kind of leadership rotates around a family therefore leadership is always passed down from one family member to the other. In this case it could either be from a father to the eldest son (Boyatzis, Rochford & Jack, 2014). This kind
  • 13. of leadership should in most cases not be advocated for because the heir to the thrown might have inadequacy of leadership skills therefore his roles might not be to the full expectations of the public. They might have little knowledge on the given leadership role or otherwise uneducated and interested on something different from ruling. Elected type of leadership has much impact on any given society since the person elected could be as a result of the public opinion in that the people are able practice democracy and elect the leader of their choice who is able to help solve their different problems within the society. In most cases elected leaders are usually educated and understand the needs of their people. Tradition-based leadership VS Modern leadership Tradition based leaders always govern their various people based on their different cultures therefore leadership goes according to the norms of a society (Baker, 2014). The people are therefore expected to follow certain kinds of traditions and their leaders as well lead according to the traditions and culture of the society. This kind of leadership always follow specific rules of the society that could otherwise be set aside by the other rulers years ago. Modern leadership is very systematic and takes the aspect of elected leaders in that leaders are elected by other members of the society. They govern the people according to the constitution system of a given government. The Queen (Helen Mirren) is a movie portraying how the Queen and Prince Philip handled and reacted to the death of Princess Diana of Wales. The movie starts out by showing the 1997 general election for Tony Blair (Michael Sheen), who was elected as Prime Minister for the Labour Party. Tony Blair main goal was to modernize the country, knowing that Queen Elizabeth II was set in her old ways. The death of the “ Peoples Princess” starts a change within Great Britain and the Royal Family no one excepted to happen. The Royal family and the
  • 14. Spencer’s were set on making the funeral a private affair. But Tony Blair and Prince Charles had other ideas; their idea was to let the general public grief the death of the People Princess. Tony Blair tried to help guide the Royal Family through the controversy, but was met with resistance from the Royal Family. According to Thomas, Schermerhorn, & Dienhart (2004) “Ethics mindfulness can also result in an ethical judgment and action that is virtually simultaneous with confronting an issue”. Queen Elizabeth II dealt with this issue big time! Her decision to try and maintain her royal protocol was a bad decision for the Republicanism. It took Tony Blair multiple times to call and convince the Queen to change her ways to being more modern. It took her to go out and try to cross a river for her to realize what was going on. Queen Elizabeth II had to come forward and show her support for the death of Princess Diana. She pays a public tribute on live television to what Princess Diana did for the nation and society. At the end Queen Elizabeth II told Tony Blair that the same way the nation turned on her, they will turn on him.
