In the movie It’s A Wonderful Life, George Bailey shows his leadership roles all throughout his life as he works to help everyone but himself. When only a little kid, George Bailey helped his boss, as his boss was mourning the death of his son and was about to poison one of his clients. He also stood up for his father as the mean Mr. Potter was belittling him after his death. George was supposed to go off to college but since his father passed away, he took over his business so that his brother could go off to college and then return to the job George was temporarily holding for him. Even when his brother came home to George with a new job and no intentions of taking his father’s job, George still did what he thought was right even if it was not his first choice for himself and remained in his father’s former position. When George and Mary got married, on their way to their honeymoon, George stopped and ended up giving all of their honeymoon money to people who were raiding the bank so that Mr. Potter would not take over their bank. He always thought of others before himself. However, even though he was a leader to everyone around him, he did not always see himself that way and the impact he had on everyone’s life around him. It was not until the angel came to him and showed him his life without him that he saw all that he did for everyone around him and how different it would have been without him in their lives. George Bailey was a leader, but not an overbearing leader. He was the perfect kind o f leader that thought about others first, and himself second.
