What are the attributes of an outstanding skipper?

Take a good hard look at yourself, and tell me which
attributes you feel need improvement in yourself.

Tell me what you plan to do to effect such improvements.



Many good responses, but they all adhere to the old theories of management -
fullfilling the narcissistic needs of the crew. Face it, the number of crews
and captains that excel are few. A management philosophy that creates only
with a small number of succesful crews should be viewed as a failing
philosophy. I seriously suggest reading "The Art of Demotivation" by Dr. E.
L. Kersten. Here's a link:

I've seen the principles of this fine book applied in full under real team
conditions. I can honestly say it weeds out or corrects the problem people
fast and is of great benefit to the captains.
