This belongs in a leadership manual somewhere …


Granted, I know nearly nothing about soccer. But I still recommend Rob Hughes’ New York Times piece on Guus Hiddink, a Dutchman who has coached the game just about everywhere, successfully. His new gig is in Turkey.

I particularly liked Hiddink’s simple approach, which Hughes said is based on three tenets: “Keep the game simple; communicate through actions, not words; and demand that others work as hard as you are prepared to do.”
