but the combination of conditions makes every round unique.

What the good manager needs to know is the following. A successful manager has the ability to «read» the characters and behaviour of his colleagues. This enables them to act in the right way at the right time and as a result to win loyalty, enthusiasm and effort from those around them. How do good managers do it?

Good managers study human behaviour - including their own. People's characters are formed in different ways, the interplay between their intellect and their emotions varies widely. Their capacities for insecurity, aggression, anxiety and ambition also differ greatly. With this kaleidoscope of human types what is it that gives the manager the insight he needs?

The answer lies in having an understanding of the general characteristics of behaviour and relating this knowledge to specific individuals and to the team. Plus the ability to learn from his own experience and that of others.
