Leadership Group 2018

I suspect that they are slightly better placed than we are 

Well yes I agree that they would know more about who has the better temperament for captaining the club than we do, but whether they have more of an idea of what is required of a leader, that is another story.

The problem with players picking a leader, is they are very likely to pick based on 3 things... football ability,  how good a bloke they are & maturity/seniority Why wouldn't they? They are a bunch of young guys who would never have been in a position to understand leadership responsibilities to any high level, why would they really pick based on anything else?

I am not suggesting anyone on the forum really has anywhere near the insight into the individuals to be able to select a captain based on anything more than a 'gut feel', which simply isn't enough. I wasn't saying forum members should pick the captain, I was only suggesting players shouldn't.

The requirements of leaders is similar across all fields, sports, business, military the works. And all of those entities look to similar organsations/courses/teachings to help build leadership skills within their ranks. The specifics are so obviously different, but many of he core human requirements are the same
