News Pies drop Leading Teams

[unplugged]

Hopefully it taught some of the players and coaches what did and didn't work, what made players click, etc. so that they can take any worthwhile bits and pieces going forward.

Otherwise, I must say like others, I don't really understand the system well enough to say if it's good or bad that it's going.

Find it hard to understand how people can have a strong opinion about this one way of the other unless you have actually been part of the program.

 

[PhiloBeddoe]

It divides a club. It's a piece of crap program.

It may divide what is already fractured.

 

[Lefthanded]

Hopefully reduces whinging on BigFooty. Other than that I'm ambivalent.

I think PicaBoo makes a good point, other than that I think LT is probably an expensive way of addressing leadership so see funds saved there as potentially better used elsewhere in an era of a football department soft cap.

I will keep my reservations until I know what is put in place instead of LT.
Leadership is an issue we need to address.

I've witnessed the program in 2 workplaces.

The key to it is always having strong leaders who can control a group through the process, because at times it is confronting and can lead to the weaker members of a group becoming upset or disenfranchised. That's what happened with Beams and Shaw in our case (from all reports).

We haven't had strong leadership since Maxwell left, that's pretty clear.

This is a great day for our football club, Leading Teams is dead, Hendy, Mclean and co will never have control over our playing group again, awesome.

 

[Scodog10]

Hallelujah! It just didn't work with our group.

One thing seems certain, Gubby's got balls and he's prepared to shake things up. I like it.

Ah youve put up a picture of the new Brownlow medalist

 

[GreekLunatic]

Gubby has done more changes in the time he is in then Neil Balme did for two years so bucks sounding board is gone lt

It divides a club. It's a piece of crap program.

And / Or it divides bigfooty posters.
And that's far worse

Seems like it was for us but both Sydney and Hawthorn use it and are lauded as the strongest as far as club culture goes.

All hail the great gubby go d


Everything that happens now that's good, in people's view, it's the great Gubby
Anything bad it's Buckleys fault.

(I'll set the default setting)

Because they have clear leaders and are on the same page..unlike us

 

[Robroy22]

Yay....first we get rid of the crappy Star gear and now Leading Teams has been dropped. Looking good Pies!

Shhhhhhhh
That's not worthy of big footy
Experience not welcome, just supposition*

*ofcourse I do this too

 

[GreekLunatic]

Hawks have players who are older and know how to lead

Yeh Nah.
It's because they won flags, then everything is genius, even the margarine they use.
Win everything brilliant.
Lose, everything is stupid.

 

[La Dispute]

Mindfulness Meditation is the next natural progression for the Collingwood Football club.

More and more teams are integrating it into their operations.

 

[PhiloBeddoe]

They weren't older when they started with it.

Outstanding word use

This!
Leading Teams were at 7 clubs this year, although parted ways with Richmond a few months ago and now us. Still at 5 other clubs.

Pretty sure we've "been there done that"

IIRC Harry / Heritier used to run meditation sessions when he was at the club.

I too have witnessed it work and not work.
McLean should have exercised no control over the group. It's not his job.
