Having recently watched the shambles, which some might kindly describe as the England football team, it made me reflect on what could be going on behind the scenes to record such awful results.
On the face of it Fabio Capello is a strong manager who doesn’t stand for any prima donnas. He lays down the law, and expects everyone to play by his “rules of the game”. Most people will normally like and respect this. Knowing where the boundaries lie gives people security, and they can decide if they want to play ball, or whether they want to risk stepping over the line. However, for this to work properly there must be consequences for not following the rules, but in the case of the England team unfortunately I suspect that the consequences simply are not uncomfortable enough for them. Of course this is pure speculation, but I believe that as they are all over paid, over-rated, spoilt young men, and therefore the threat of losing their place in the England team simply does not matter enough. Furthermore because there is now such a small pool of English premiership players to choose from, they know they have little chance of being dropped anyway.
Bringing this back to more familiar level, I see this sort of thing happening in business everyday. Business owners being too “nice” to their staff, because they think it is better to be part of the “gang”. Often staff are not clear on what their responsibilities are, and therefore cannot be held responsible for the outcome of their actions – so no consequences.
Strong business leadership sets clear boundaries. The team need to know what is expected of them in terms of responsibilities and accountabilities, and what will happen if they do not perform accordingly. Fairness, consistency and good management through delegation get respect, as this creates a strong business which will make everyone happier.
