You can't imagine the Ted Wittens of the world as leaderships now being anywhere near acceptable by the population which they're dealing with.
So footage changed.
You know better than anybody else who's been a part of it over all those, I think, three phases in my life now.
the game has changed enormously.
And I think if you're in that role now as a coach, it would be the most demanding leadership role that I could think, not only in Australian sport, but in Australian society.
Is it distinct from... I think, yeah, no, Gerard, that's a very, very good question.
I think it,
Probably is because the culture of Carlton over a period of time is, in the sense of the word, is unique also.
I mean, I've been in multiple clubs over a period of time and not one of those other clubs had anything like the culture that I was experiencing there.
In both my times at Carlton, I had two periods there over a long time, and not one of the other clubs that I was associated with as a player or a coach had a culture like Carlton.
Um...
Yeah, better for worse.
I mean, I tried to... I brought a different, I guess, personality, if you like, character into the role.
And I must admit, having gone, you can imagine, Gerard going from what was the Hawthorne culture and being subjected to a couple of very interesting people who were the leaders at Carlton at that time to the Carlton culture, it was almost a shock to me that
Two organisations who are trying to compete in the same competition and deliver the same outcomes were so different in their make-up and the leadership styles that were there to try and achieve that end.
When I look back now, it was an amazing experience.
Well, I mean, that's a really difficult task to... I'm not sure even how in this time to answer that question.
I mean, you've got to go in on your own... What's the word?
On your own set of values and understandings and set the pattern in the first place.
This is what I stand for.
