Capello celebrated for his management skills

Thursday 24 June 2010
Business management experts have been discussing the success of England manager Fabio Capello's leadership and management skills.

Ruth Spellman, the chief executive of the Chartered Management Institute, says that the England team’s success in their game against Slovenia is testament to his skills as a manager.

She added that a recent survey of workers found that Fabio Capello came second only to Sir Alex Ferguson as the football manager employees would most like to be managed by. Spellman explains why: "Capello may have earned himself a reputation as a disciplinarian - aloof and detached from his players - but in truth, it’s evident to us that his primary management strength is his ability to provide direction and communicate his vision to the team – he’s a born leader and it shows."

Spellman says that managers and employers in the business world can take tips from Capello’s leadership style when managing staff and considering training for employees. She says that he is effective at using his strengths to bring the best out in his team. Any manager can use these skills to identify what they are good at and work on developing weaker areas through online training and developing better business skills and qualifications.

Spellman says that the four cornerstones of good management are getting results, strong leadership, working with people and last but not least, managing yourself – which is what Capello does so well.
