His confidence and all-around great ability cause him to be a good leader by example. He puts in a ton of work and can make his team better by improving their work habits. However, Kobe has long been credited for being a little to isolated and held back to be a true leader. He allegedly was the main cause of the break up of the best duo in basketball, him and Shaq. Still, as a leader he makes his team work harder.
Yet, if their current lineup gives them different strengths, they may flex their system or make adjustments to best take advantage of the current talent. Non-basketball leaders must do the same thing – focus on your core philosophy, yet be flexible in implementation based on the circumstances and talent on your team.”( Kevin Eikenberr). Seven Leadership Lessons from Great Basketball Coaches. After reading both of these cases I find that the leadership perspectives were congruent in influencing each of their style of leadership was very significant. Both men had different upbringings which drove them to succeed, one authoritarian and the other pride in oneself.
Coach Bob Knight and Coach Mike Krzyzewski are two of the most successful college coaches. Each of these two men are famous not only for their winning records, but for their (like nothing else in the world) leadership styles, both on and off the basketball court. Coach Bob Knight became a legend as the head basketball coach at Indiana University. He is now the head basketball coach at Texas Tech. Coach Mike Krzyzewski has been the head basketball coach at Duke University since 1980.
Such as the dunk from the free throw line that so many people try to attempt, but no one could do it like Michael Jordan. He brought personality to the game of basketball and no one would’ve been better to bring that than Michael Jordan. He was just simply a great all around player he could shoot, dunk, pass, and block. Any team that had Michael would definitely improve and only become better in time. No one else could lead one team to six championships in one decade, and would have come out of retirement twice to come back to the game of basketball.
Both coaches led their perspective teams to National and Division Championships but they leadership and management styles were different. Coach K was more supportive, caring, and nurturing toward his players; whereas Coach Knight was more volatile and explosive in his temperament he lacked the social skills to foster a positive environment for his players unlike Coach K. In the end both coaches will gone down in history, however no one can deny their record as coaches but their leadership styles will be debated for years to come as the list of best collegiate basketball coaches is compiled by basketball greats and sports
Toby is confronted with a series of ‘tyrant’ men who use unrelenting violence and blatant manipulation in order to control their wives and children. Whilst demonstrating some degree of unease about these men’s actions and their ‘occasional brutality’ towards his mother, Toby’s vulnerability in this crucial developmental stage in his life, forces him to consider this to be the definition of a man. Considering and applying this dominant definition of masculinity proves to be an error of judgement made by Toby. At some stage Roy is what Toby thinks ‘a man should be’ and is the instigator of his feelings that he needs a weapon ‘for the way it completes him’. Roy, like Dwight, influences Toby’s relationship with his mother and forces Toby to withhold the truth from her.
I’m No Jordan Every single avid basketball fan yearns to be like Mike, young, old, rich, poor, tall, short, everyone. Michael Jeffrey Jordan now, 48 years of age and nine years away from the game he loved with the passion that drove him to harness raw talent and cultivate it every day until there was separation between him and every other superstar the game of basketball has ever seen. I wondered how I could be like that. The comparisons have been made by hundreds of sports analysts, former players, current players, Hall of Famers and even celebrities over the years as to who would be the next MJ and they all have different opinions leaving us without a conclusive “Air to the Throne”. And then there was Kobe.
Understanding and overcoming a male inferiority complex Have you possessed the horrible habit of raising your voice, speaking quickly and appearing fearful and erratic when in an argument, or when criticising someone? If you have then you should keep reading. The reason for this is that sub consciously you view yourself as inferior. You regard yourself as a low status male. Whenever arguing with a higher status male your inferiority complex would cause you to panic.
It’s a feeling of weakness that sparks our raving madness and being furious for a moment won’t do us any good. After a while, temper tantrums destroy our physical health and the body won’t be in a state of homeostasis. Prolonged animosity stresses the body out, telling it to keep its guard up which can lead to heart attack or stroke. Negative thoughts stoke our anger more, but once we understand that we can try to stop them. I agree with Hales; Americans are becoming angrier.
That is one reason why basic/boot seems so scary to some people because they know they will have a power struggle with the drill sergeants. It's all about submitting your own free will to the good of others. If an order is not followed, the
