Despite the popular mis perception that business success or failure often occurs suddenly, Collins asserts that it more typically occurs over the course of years, and that both only transpire after sufficient positive or negative momentum has been accrued. Collins describes the advantageous business cycle that, in some cases, can foster the transition from good to great as "the flywheel effect." By making decisions and taking actions that reinforce and affirm the company’s "hedgehog" competencies, executives initiate positive momentum. This, in turn, results in the accumulation of tangible positive outcomes, which serve to boost and earn the investment and loyalty of the staff. This sense of “new life” of the team serves to further build momentum.
The aim of watching and analysing the film, The Blind Side , was to identify and apply the interpersonal communication theories that were present in the particular scene that I have chosen and from this movie, I hope to learn to assess and interpret situations using interpersonal communication to be applied in my daily life when encountering such situations with such circumstances.

Case 1: Bobby In the case of Bobby, his father would like to help him increase the frequency of cleaning his room, thus the target behavior in this case would be cleaning his room. Cleaning his room could be defined as picking toys up and putting them away, throwing any trash in the garbage can, placing dirty clothes in the laundry hamper, and making his bed. Operant conditioning is the process of learning that uses reinforcement and punishment directly after a behavior occurs to either increase or decrease its occurrence in the future. As it relates to behavior modification operant conditioning can be used to increase a desired target behavior by discovering something reinforcing to the individual, then immediately following the occurrence of the targeted behavior apply the desired reinforcer. The stronger the association between the reinforcer and the behavior the greater the frequency in which the behavior will occur, thus resulting in positive reinforcement.
