And ultimately, when you talk about leadership, effective leadership, it's adjusting your leadership style to the person you're dealing with.

Steve Kerr talks about this.

He says, I coach Draymond different than I coach other people.

Like with Draymond, at first I was trying to be like the new age, 21st century.

Hey, man, talk to me about your feelings.

And he realized pretty quickly from talking to Draymond and talking to Tom Izzo, no, Draymond just wants you to cuss him out.

And call him on his bullshit and be up in his face and scream and be like a domineering coach.

That's what he responds to.

But that doesn't mean Steve Kerr is going to coach Brandon Podemski or Buddy Heald or Jonathan Kaminga the same way because those guys have different receptors as far as the message.

And it's on the leader to adjust it because at the end of the day, the most important thing isn't that I get to communicate the way I want to.

The most important thing is the message gets communicated.

The schisms you guys talk about, again and again, what has happened with Jimmy Butler, we really celebrated old school around here.

And you realize there's a generation of difference between however it is that Jimmy Butler and Dwayne Wade were behaving in Chicago or how Jimmy Butler interacted with younger people in Minnesota or in the instance that we're talking about here where you're singling out Kaminga.

It's a generation of difference in attitude.

I will say, though, I think he's right in the people that he's identifying.

in terms of people that aren't necessarily doing the things necessary to help the team, even though his own actions, especially when they meet real adversity, kind of also work against the team's interest.

Right, so the idea is like, yes, he's never misidentifying the guy who's not pulling their weight, but how do you get them to pull their weight?

Do you go off on them and then just ignore them for the rest of time?

That's not an effective strategy.

You're trying to build them up to get to that place.
