My Weekly Reminder

What do Tony Dungy, head coach of the Indianopolis Colts, and Lovie Smith, head coach of the Chicago Bears, have in common besides the fact that they’re both African-American and they both coached in the 2007 Super Bowl?  The answer is their management style–they treat their players with dingnity and respect instead of cursing at them or sarcastically chewing them out.  Carol Hymowitz of The Wall Street Journal said in a column dated January 29, 2007, “The Super Bowl should be required viewing for managers who think that screaming at employees is the best way to motivate them….”   She went on to say that, “You won’t see that kind of behavior Sunday as the Colts play the Bears for football’s highest trophy….  Both coaches believe they can get their teams to compete more fiercely and score more touchdowns by giving directives calmly and treating players with respect.”  The lesson here is that if treating people with respect can result in Super Bowl appearences, just think what could happen at work if managers, superivsors and team leaders used the same management style.
