Watching Aston Villa(an english premier league football club) deal with Gareth Barry reminds me of a management insight of always making sure that we should always aim to end things on our own terms. The situation is that Barry, their captain and star in many ways, has been angling for a move to Liverpool(a bigger club) and has been letting his tongue loose a bit where the media is concerned.
Aston Villa’s manager has decided to come down hard on him and in a stroke of genius declared that he is banned from attending pre season practice(which he never wanted to attend anyway..). Basically, in one cool move, the situation has changed from a player trying to act big to him being fired..
Interesting..and happens all the time!
