I find managers fall into three main categories: Good tacticians - They make the moves that work and are successful Good people persons - the kumbaya types who the players (say they) love Martinets - the "my way or the highway" types who have a doghouse that is always full. But sometimes, the public image of a manager who falls into each of those categories may be a misperception of how they really are. In any event, all three tyles have been successful and all three types have failed. And you can't predict which type is best for a given team. Then again, what do I know? Later
