Rumours and Stuff

Course you can. But you have to straddle the line, and be willing to wear shreds off them if needed. You can't be just a good, matey boss that everyone loves and you can't be a dictator. There should always be some separation

A good boss earns respect from those under his direction. He can have a conversation with you without being a mate. He gets the team working as a unit, yet has time to be there to offer his opinion to those that seek it. He's the leader and will be there through thick and thin. Ho can also discipline without losing respect. Not many have those qualities.

You can be a mate but it has to be that shit kind of mate who will stop being your friend the instant you stop toeing the line.

You wouldn't stop toeing the line in the first place if he was a good leader.

Not true. Some idiots have no respect for anyone. They cannot be led. Only bullied.

The best bosses are the ones that rarely need to discipline. They are so well respected that players will do anything for them.

These merkins are rare in well run teams but, yes ‘command and control’ is the only way to deal with them.

You can be a mate to your staff but you need to be able to separate what is business and what is personal , you also need to be able to instil that in your staff, which isn't particularly easy and get's more difficult the larger the staff is because it introduces far more variables in personalities that need to be taken into account and managed.

Being a "tough boss" is far easier, and requires far less people skills, and so is often the preferred choice of managers with less experience. Fear is a great motivator particularly over the short term, and is better suited to work that people don't want to do, however instilling desire and inspiration and a sense of belonging to a team is better suited to positions where people can actually enjoy their work, and will reap greater rewards over the long term. As always balance is key.

”The boys love BA”

Have any of our players actually uttered that phrase?

It sounds like something that smiling goofy idiot Mannah would say.

Do you have a big family Gary?

I reckon Avenger plays tough but he is a big softy. Unless upset him then he would bear hug and crush you to death.
