My wife was listening to some psych podcast that had some stuff on self motivation and how controlling partners can rewire partners brains to be less self motivated and so I imagine leaders are similar. BJ probably wouldn't be a good leader for that reason. Perhaps our leaders were dominators not enablers?
There's not much use in setting an example if you can't inspire the players to follow it.
Roo set exacting standards to get the best out of himself but you only had to watch his response to say a poor delivery to know he wasn't a classic leader like Hodgey.
So before anyone bags me for taking potshots at Roo - think back through your working life/have a look at our political sphere for the last 20 years - how many great (even good) leaders have you seen - I'll guess not very many - like I said - leadership is a tough gig.
