Determination & Discipline – Core Principles of A Great Manager | #MBAIITKanpur

But he had a turnaround plan, and discipline was at the core of this strategy. He bashed the arrogance out of some, fired a couple, and made every other effort to infuse the core principles of discipline in them. The results were slow but substantial. United won their first League title in 1992 almost 6 years after he took over, but, the rest is history. He went on to win 12 more League titles in next 20 Years; an extraordinary achievement for a competition of a Stature of English League.

Just like Gopichand, Sir Alex made World Class players like Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham, Wayne Rooney and Paul Pogba (to name a few) what they are today. He was a no-nonsense man when he joined in 1986 and left the same person in 2013, working for 26 Years, day -in and day-out, and taking less than 5 leave of absence in this entire duration.

Both these managers believed in making their own rules and made sure that their team followed it. Its what made them different, what made them successful!
