What makes Ferguson great?
Recommend on Google+
An excellent blog post from Phil McNulty on the BBC Sport website discussing Sir Alex Ferguson’s leadership qualities in the run up to tomorrow’s champions league final against Barcelona. Loads of good material for Business Studies students to get their teeth into when discussing different managerial situations and the need for different approaches. If AQA ever choose management & leadership for a BUSS4 research theme this would be an excellent example to use.
