EMS runs Team Building and Man Management Workshops. - John Hill writes
One subject covered is Dealing with Failure, and the accepted wisdom of ‘Give praise in public and be critical in private’ is discussed. Consider this then. Phil Brown is the manager of Hull City FC playing away to Manchester City FC in the Barclays Premier League. Hull are 4 nil down at half time. What does Phil Brown do? Does he take his team to the dressing rooms ASAP to inspire them for the second half? No he does not. He keeps his players on the field and in front of over 45,000 football fans and live TV he gives them a verbal lashing.Hull held Manchester City 1 – 1 in the second half, with the final score 5 – 1
Is that good or bad Man Management? Or is he just a brilliant leader?
