Fergie- Management 101

Success begins with desire. A burning desire to succeed underlies all great achievement.  Sir Alex is no exception to the laws of over-achievement.

After desire comes strategy.  Long term goals and values are vital in guiding one to the top. Fergie built his success on young teams-remember Beckham, Giggs, Scholes, Yorke and associates. To succeed tomorrow, plan for tomorrow and put in place systems that deliver the intended results.

A long term view requires networks. Networks take time and effort to consolidate. It is no surprise, as 11 former Man United players, under Alex Ferguson, also became premiership mangers the network grew further. Good mangers are leaders as well. Performance sometimes needs management,  at other times coaching and leadership are vital.

Alex joined United in 1986, by 1989/90 United was near relegation. Alex persisted and years after United was on top. Even the best of us need a bit of luck. To realize luck, smart work is essential.
