Has work-life balance reached the highest level in football?
Is Manchester United a great company to work for?
Has Hag been the exemplary leader that everyone in England talks about?
I say again, it's not about football. It's about people, like us. And like us because they work, because they lead, because they motivate and demotivate themselves, because they have emotions and of course because they make mistakes!
Cristiano Ronaldo has been in the spotlight since his interview with Piers Morgan became public where he publicly spoke about the malaise that exists between him and the club he represents, where he explained that the situation is not new, as it is remote. There is still last season, where Ronaldo was “only” the club's top scorer.
Cristiano says he chose to stay with his family at the time of his daughter's illness rather than join pre-season duties, and that apparently Manchester United leaders didn't buy the story. Who never went through this, directly or indirectly?
We come here every day to read good practices for balancing personal and professional lives, but often in difficult times we do not feel these “good practices” in practice. After all, at a time like this, what weighs more on the scales, family, or work?
Let's remember that in April the player lost a son, and it is said that the greatest show of empathy he received was… from his opponent Liverpool!
When a person doesn't feel support from the organization I work for, in the face of such devastation and trauma, what are you supposed to say or do?
In work, we see this every day in the company.
In this interview, he also talks about working conditions at Manchester and says that the club has stopped in time, nothing that Mourinho or Ibrahimovic have not said when saying goodbye. Ronaldo didn't open the door to anything, he just threw it open thanks to his size. So, does Manchester have to work better on its employer branding?
Finally, a taste of leadership. He assumed he didn't respect the coach because the coach didn't respect him. He leaves the bench when the others who start the match are not half as good, it is given to him as a career prize not to enter the field when they are being run over by Manchester City, some play injured, others in physical overload, of the most old men close to hanging up the boots of the younger and inexperienced ones, everyone counts... except for him who has more than 700 goals in his career.
When it comes to assuming things truthfully, the coach prefers beautiful but false words, pretending that there is room for him if he continues to work humbly, instead of assuming that he doesn't count on him. Therefore, I ask how many “Tem Hags” are there in these companies out there?
Was Manchester United honest with Cristiano Ronaldo from the start?
