Man of the Match is better than being Captain.
I apologise for my lack of posting lately. I promise I will write every day for 20 mins.
As an avid rugby player I can’t help using rugby analogies in my day to day work and life in general.
Some players place so much importance on being the Captain, making sure that people do exactly what they want, how they want it and when they want it that their own game goes downhill.
A good captain inspires firstly by doing their job to best of their ability,influencing other player with their skill and attitude at no point does a captain think “how will I inspire my players?”. They know they will play to the best of their ability inspire players by their attitude.
It reminds me of DISC training I did a couple of years ago. People are made up of four characteristics with one more dominant than the other.If for example a project had to be completed by a certain deadline the following characteristics would contribute to it in the following ways.
- Dominator – Doesn’t matter how the project is done as long as it done thier way.
- Influencer – Doesn’t matter how the project is done as long as it fun/enjoyable.
- Supportive – Doesn’t matter how its done as long everybody is ok
- Conscientious – Doesn’t matter how its done as long as its done exactly to the brief.
Have guess which one is the hardest to work with an causes the most problems to morale.
