Quote ="Leaguefan"If Salfords players are not giving 100% then they are taking money under false pretences because that is not professional. It dosn't matter what the boss says, he wouldn't have to if they were doing their job. It would seem they are not.
If being shouted at and being called names etc, really upsets you, then you have a problem, but help is available. You could also change jobs if you don't the company you are working for like other people do.
Just remember, he who pays the piper calls the tune. If you don't like the tune, pay more or find someone who will play your tune at the price you want to pay.
FWIW there is no right answer to this kind of situation, people react in different ways as has been shown, just by the comments on this forum and Mr McDermotts comments.(I wonder if as a marine, his officers talked nice cool and calmly

Someone's "100%" is a variable thing. It varies with numerous factors both physical and mental. In the same way as a clubs conditioners are there to prepare the players to get the most out of them (predominantly) physically, a clubs leaders are at least partly responsible for the mental side of things. If you want a player's "100%" to be higher then treat them well and get them to "buy in" to the club. If you want to treat players like sh|t then their "100%" is likely to be lower.
It's the same as in any job, if you properly motivate your workforce you'll have a much more efficient and effective organisation than if the only motivation is through threats and negative motivation techniques.
I'd also imagine the vast majority of officers McDermott encountered in the Royal Marines spoke coolly and calmly. They're trained to do so for good reasons.
