Remember The Titans
Within this organization there are two main leader who take very different approaches in there method of management. Coach Boone is the head football coach, he is very strict when it comes to his players as well as his team staff, he takes a classical approach at management. Division of labor and priorities are some main concepts used in the classical approach, Boone believe’s everyone should know where they stand and who is the boss, he is focused on building a strong winning team. Coach Boone is straight forward and to the point, in the first team meeting he informs the team that, “Best player will play, color don’t matter,” and he lets the players know, “This is not a democracy, this is a dictatorship. I am the law.” This shows Boone believe in division of labor, by matching the players skills to their position, and that he leads with bureaucracy, letting it be known clearly who is in charge. Coach Yoast is the former head coach made assistant defensive coach, who choses to lead with a behavioral approach to management. Yoast tells Boone he wants his players to hold their positions even after Boone takes over, he also tells Boone he too strict at camp and that the players should be having some fun. This shows Yoast believe’s that the players will preform better for the team if they are satisfied with the position they have, and if they are having fun while playing and practicing. Taking a behavioral approach to management, Yoast have confidence that if the player are satisfied they will be motivated to have a better outcome. I believe that both Coach Boone and Coach Yoast share the same goals, building a strong team and winning games. Coach Boone’s approach is very effective by making the players come together as a team to reach the same goal, he teaches them discipline and why they need to respect and protect each other on and off the field. Without Boone’s strict approach the players would have most likely never have come
