🟠⚫️ MANAGING PLAYERS VS MANAGING STAFF 🟠⚫️

In this clip from Episode 6, Col Speed and Grant Spies discuss the similarities between managing rugby league players and managing staff in today’s workplace.

They explore how leadership has evolved, the growing importance of understanding mental health and why getting the best out of people requires more than a one-size-fits-all approach.
