More leadership and sport

I am beginning to wish I hadn't started this theme of leadership and sport after seeing the England Croatia game.

 It's interesting though when things go wrong in sport, who takes the blame. It always seems to be the manager who is the first to go.

In a company, it would be the CEO. In a school, the head. Maybe a new manager or CEO or head will sort things out. But what about the team?

Somehow in sport, it's very final. A defeat and you are out. With a company or school, it's usually not that qucik although I guess the result of an inspection could be like a defeat in a game for a manager under pressure.

But will a different type of leader do the trick. There's something about the right approach for the circumstances I suppose. But there's also something about getting the team achieving its full potential. How far is that down to the leader or down to the team?
