This principle seems to run counter to our general criteria for a good leader. We generally think that a good leader should be close to his subordinates and listen to their opinions. In this way, you can better understand your subordinates and build your reputation at the same time. But Byrne took an almost harsh, oppressive management of his own players. Wouldn't this arouse the resistance and hatred of the team members? How can you convince the public and lead your own team? Know that you're black, and almost half of the team starts out with racist ideas. This is an absolutely daunting task for any good leader.
But instead of resisting him because of his dictatorship, Byrne's team viewed him as an authority and obeyed his orders as a soldier would obey his general. Coach Yoss, who was supposed to be the head coach but was robbed of the baton by Burn, also surrendered to him and cooperated with him to lead the team to the championship trophy. It's fair to say that Bourne has ruled his team perfectly and ruled the game.
On the other hand, Burn's principles of managing the team are not so much a dictatorship, but rather that Burn is just performing his duties.
As a coach, his job is to lead the team, and the relationship with the team is to lead and be led. The coach's responsibility is to lead and guide the team, and the team's responsibility is to listen to the coach and win. From this point of view, everyone is just doing their part and playing the role they should play. Just imagine, in a drama, if everyone not only plays their own roles, but also distracts from other people's performance and questions other people's performance or ability, then it will be a bad performance.
A good team knows how to divide and cooperate. Cooperation requires division of labor. In a team, everyone will be assigned to their own position, and we will perform their own responsibilities in their own positions and be responsible for their own work, which is the basis of cooperation. What connects the division of labor with cooperation is trust, which is a condition for good cooperation. Whatever work you are assigned to, focus on doing your own thing well, and at the same time cooperate with your teammates and trust your teammates. Never doubt your teammates' work or abilities, because you are not in their position and you are not assigned their work. What you should do is not to doubt, but to manage your own duties, do your part well, and then leave the rest to your teammates.
Only when we have absolute trust in each other can there be absolute cooperation. We must always believe that our teammates can be as good as us, because they, too, believe in you.
Bourne's dictatorship and the absolute obedience of the players are actually the perfect embodiment of the spirit of cooperation.
