Paris Saint-Germain's victory in the Champions League final is proof that Luis Enrique's management change has worked. Working with sporting director Luis Campos, the Spanish coach prioritized the collective over the stars when building his squad: "This victory is the perfect demonstration that having the best talent in your team is not enough. It is essential that these talents complement each other and enjoy working together. This requirement is not always compatible when there are stars in the team who think first of their own success. As a leader, it's not about crushing personalities, but about aligning them with a shared vision," analyses Grégoire Bosselut, lecturer at the University of Montpellier, in a French management media. The former coach of La Roja also demonstrated high standards. He regularly reviewed the team's good and bad moves. “This allows everyone to listen to each other and communicate calmly. This method has been proven to increase performance by 20% in the next competition,” says Grégoire Bosselut. The two-time Champions League winner also demonstrates a positive attitude with his group by acting as a motivational leader, for example, before the penalty shootout against Liverpool. A prime example of management.
