“It is not the brains that matter most, but that which guides them – the character, the heart, generous qualities, progressive ideas.”<\/p>\n

Dostoyevsky<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

This is a great quote that reminds us that management, especially progressive management, is not so much about techniques and tools but about our basic stance in relation to those we manage.<\/p>\n

Certainly in sports management the role of the manager is to help each individual to perform to the maximum of their potential. In business I think it is a minority of managers who see this as their job. Instead they see it as about keeping people working in boxes on organisation charts – sometimes supressing their development order to retain them.<\/p>\n
