Coach Welcome to Carlton Travis Boak

[The Bighouse]

Importantly, he said that Vossy took it upon himself to then go away and improve, develop and adapt - improving his relationship and ability as a coach.

Which lead to improved performances and a Ollie Wines Brownlow IIRC

The discussion at 1:40 is actually alarming
Voss had been a senior coach at that point, Boak was a captain
After a YEAR they had a discussion about not getting what Voss meant as a coach

Importantly, he said that Vossy took it upon himself to then go away and improve, develop and adapt - improving his relationship and ability as a coach.

I tend to agree with the concerns.

As an old fart, I have always prescribed to the theory that REAL leadership is instinctive rather than learned. Genuine empathy, motivation, problem solving are inherent qualities. Granted aspects can be learned, I don’t have issue with “middle managers” being created leaders, but absolutely believe high level managers (coaches) must have natural instincts and values. It needs to be second nature rather than a detailed analysis that turns a group of individuals in to a team.

I remain very respectful of M.Voss, but remain unconvinced he is the right man for the job. The significant rider is that in this day and age, it often takes significant insight to sort the wheat from the chaff. So many are conditioned to talk the talk, but precious few can walk the walk.

I am so very hopeful that Wright and Davies have the required nous to identify the necessary traits. (I will be extremely happy if Vossy can measure up and lead us where we need to go, I remain fearful that like a talented playing list, he has just enough to keep us in contention, but not those few percent of intangibles)

Agree — if anything, it gives hope that he’ll actually take on Simpson’s feedback. Taking on feedback and developing is important in any role or position within any organisation, and it shouldn’t be seen as a negative.

Nice post. What level of leadership does a captain of a team that won 3 flags have?

And lauded for that leadership from within and the opposition!

Leading on field as a captain is not the same as leading as a coach
Can’t hip and should Scotty burns from the coaches box..although it would be interesting

Correct. Plenty of great onfield leaders couldn't coach a pig to be dirty.

Voss has a ton to prove as a coach. And has about 20 weeks left to prove it i think everyone would agree. For various reasons, he's been given another chance and i would think every Carlton supporter hopes he can do it.

I for one remain sceptical but hopeful.

Welcome to Travis!

What is the role - leadership?

 

[Jatz]

Strange seeing him in Carlton colours but I think it's a fantastic acquisition from us.

He'll have a wealth of knowledge to help share with the club.

One of the few interviews I’ve seen with a Carlton coach who is clearly well informed but doesn’t resort to cliches and saying a lot without communicating anything.

I always hold it as a marker of intelligence and competence when someone can speak clearly. People like Neil Balme and Chris Scott

I see as excellent examples of this. He seemed clear on his values, goals and methods so I think he should be a great addition to the group.

I dunno, there's a hell of a lot of people who speak well who say nothing intelligent or of substance. There are plenty of super intelligent people who aren't great communicators.

Boak's interview was certainly a good one, as he clearly gets it. I'd think his ability to relate one on one with players is the important thing, not his ability to speak publicly. I do love what he had to say, though.

That was my point, he spoke well and said things that conveyed substance. He came across as an authentic human as opposed to a cliche driven robot.

I don’t think public speaking is the sole criterion for an effective coach but it does instil much greater confidence that they are the right man for the job when they do.
