940 Leadership Style
Patrick Willis sat cross-legged on the floor, facing the exit with his back against the seat seat in the front row, trying not to block the exit space - otherwise the flight attendants would come and warn passengers to leave the area and ensure the foundation of the cabin.
Because the whole location was so cramped, Willis was forced to huddle in a corner, looking like a homeless homeless man.
Lu Ke was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but chuckle.
But Lu Ke didn't turn around and leave, he didn't plan to avoid the captain of the defense team, on the contrary, he thought that he needed to have a long talk with the captain of the defense team.
In fact, Lu Ke just seriously thought about whether he should go to the defensive group in person, apologize in person to all his teammates in the defensive group, or communicate, or reconcile face-to-face.
But the question with such a solution is: whether the teammates in the offensive group will feel betrayed because of Lu Ke's behavior, which is not to be said for the time being; Whether the teammates in the defensive group are willing to buy it, how much effect it has, and whether it will further intensify the conflict must be marked with a question mark.
Face-to-face with Willis was another solution. The matters of the offensive group are left to the captain of the offensive group to solve, and the problems of the defensive group are naturally left to the captain of the defensive group to consider, at least, the problem can be temporarily controlled within a range that can be expected and calculated.
Now, seeing Willis unexpectedly, Lu Ke made a decision immediately and sat down cross-legged beside Willis.
Willis obviously didn't expect the unexpected visitor, and looked at Lu Ke in a daze, as if he was hesitating, whether he should get up and leave, or should he be angry, but in the end, he didn't make any moves, just shook his head helplessly, and then began to instruct Lu Ke's actions, "Go inside a little, there may affect the passage of the flight attendants' dining car." ”
Lu Ke slightly adjusted the position inside, until he confirmed that there was no problem with his sitting posture, turned his head, and then saw him and Willis curled up together in embarrassment, not only not more comfortable, but more restrained, that embarrassing posture really made people laugh.
But lest their laughter disturb the other passengers, both of them had to purse their lips vigorously, holding all their smiles in their stomachs, and inadvertently, that kind of funny appearance made the atmosphere unfazed and even a little embarrassing and jerky.
When the smile finally slowly retracted, Lu Ke solemnly said to Willis, "I'm sorry." ”
There was no quibble, no detour, Lu Ke sincerely and sincerely apologized.
Such an unconcealed straight ball, Willis did not expect it again, and subconsciously wanted to say "It's okay", out of politeness or out of habit, but before the words could be spoken, Lu Ke continued to speak.
"Don't mind, this apology is indeed what I should say." Lu Ke let out a long breath, "Today's performance in the locker room, I am responsible, I should bear the mistake." At any time, no matter what the occasion, as a member of the team, I should not blame my teammates for their poor performance, especially because my words and language are really unsightly. ”
"We are a team, a team, we should unite and fight together, instead of blaming each other for mistakes and omissions, the meaning of the so-called teammates is to make up for each other's mistakes and then sprint to the same goal together. Without the consistently excellent performance of the defensive group, the offensive group would not have been able to achieve victory. ”
"I don't have room for quibbles about the behaviour in the dressing room, and I don't want to pass the buck. My fault is, indeed, my fault. I need to apologize solemnly. Although, it's not the most perfect environment, but ...... I'm sorry. ”
Lu Ke's words were not urgent or fast, it seemed that every word and sentence had been carefully chewed and swallowed slowly, and he sincerely expressed his apologies.
Willis looked at Lu Ke seriously, serious and sharp, as if he was looking at Lu Ke condescendingly.
But Lu Ke did not flinch, he sat in front of him in front of him in a dignified manner, without evasion, prevarication, or excuses, and simply took all the faults on his shoulders.
Suddenly, Willis's dull mood became clearer, but he still suppressed his voice and asked, "Are you apologizing as Lu Ke personally, or are you expressing your opinion as the captain of the offensive team?" ”
"It's as an individual and as an attacking captain." Lu Ke admitted calmly.
This is the responsibility and obligation of a leader.
If it's Moss or Logan, they can quibble, they can justify their actions, they can even blame Willis in turn; But as the captain of the attacking team, he has to accept the mistakes made by his teammates, and if they are wrong, they will be wrong, and only when the leader is truly aware of the problem can they create the conditions for solving the problem.
Willis couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and chuckled, "You know, you just said that, it simply doesn't give me any leeway, even if I want to be a wicked person, continue to condemn you for a while, and vent my anger, it seems that there is no way, just that I am too lacking, you cunning fox." ”
Lu Ke's tight shoulder line loosened slightly, but his expression did not completely relax, and he still said sincerely, "If you want to get angry or want to vent your emotions now, there is no problem, it is still too late." I'm right here, and I'm not going to run away. ”
Willis shook his head lightly and chuckled, "Don't worry, I see what you mean." There's no need to be so nervous, I'm not Aldon's hairy boy, I still know how important things are. ”
Willis bumped Lu Ke's shoulder with his shoulder, and then, both of them smiled at the same time, and the atmosphere really relaxed.
"Just now, you can put the blame on Randy and Logan, they started the matter, and it has nothing to do with you. Things will be much easier. Willis's mood had relaxed, and he said in a relaxed tone.
Lu Ke nodded, "I know." But no matter what, standing in front of you, I'm part of the offensive team. Today's problem is between the attacking and defensive groups, and I still have to distinguish my position. Sometimes, gags bring things over, and that's okay; But sometimes, responsibility is responsibility and cannot be easily shirked. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Ke also chuckled, "When you enjoy the halo, you enjoy it, and when you are responsible, you run away, how can there be such a good thing in the world?" ”
Originally, it was still a serious topic, but now that Lu Ke explained it like this, he was immediately full of joy.
Willis chuckled. Although this is true, when it comes to actually fulfilling it, not everyone is willing to bear the weight of this responsibility.
"Now it looks like you're finally the leader of the offensive group. Not just a captain, but a leader. Willis sighed sincerely.
In fact, if Lu Ke didn't come to him, Willis would also go to find Lu Ke. The offense or defense can be left to their own interiors, but as the captain of the defense, Willis must know the attitude of the offense. It was true that the defensive group did not perform well today, but the provocative behavior of the offensive group was also unforgivable.
Now, Lu Ke's initiative to come to the door has taken the initiative to resolve contradictions and conflicts, and Willis can calmly turn big things into small things and small things. This also proves that Lu Ke is growing and maturing. That's a good thing.
Willis then said, "What is going on inside the offensive team right now?" ”
"Whew, there are still a lot of problems, and the state of the wide receiver group is still not good; Now, under the touting of reporters, everyone feels that they are the first in the league, as if the Super Bowl has been stuffed into their pockets. Even if there is a problem, you don't see the problem, or don't think it's a problem at all. If it doesn't detonate, the problem will always be there; But it detonated, but I don't know if everyone exploded collectively. ”
Lu Ke is still in a state of trouble, he needs advice, and Patrick Willis and David Akons are the most suitable people to ask questions in the team, they have the qualifications and experience, and they have always taken great care of Lu Ke. Now that I finally met the opportunity, I couldn't help but spit out all the questions.
But after finishing speaking, Lu Ke laughed happily, "Wait, this is an internal secret of our offensive team, shouldn't I say anything more?" Something seems to be wrong. ”
Willis rolled his eyes widely, "Don't worry, in exchange, I'll also tell you about the internal secrets of the defensive group." Now the defense team is also arrogant. ”
"Last year, we were third in the league in the defensive group, but in fact, the ups and downs in the season are very obvious, and the performance in the two games of the playoffs is far from excellent, otherwise Drew Bliss and Eli Manning would not have scored so easily, and there are a lot of shortcomings; And this year, it is said that the league is temporarily ranked first, but there are still many problems, and they are in a state where they can't be scolded or trained. ”
Willis couldn't help but shake his head again and again, thinking about it now, I don't know whether to be happy or worried about today's locker room problems, "The state of today's game is really terrible, even if Randy and they don't provoke, after I go back, I will reprimand them fiercely." I'm still wondering what to say. Really, it's harder to serve than a woman. ”
"Do you need me to go over and apologize to them?" Lu Ke hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
Willis waved his hand nonchalantly, "No. Leave the problem here in the defensive group to me. I will convey your meaning, your attitude is here, and that is enough; If you apologize straight to the point, what about the offensive group? They're holding their breath now, too. Don't look at this group of guys who are not strong, but in fact, they are a group of children who have not grown up. ”
Willis's description was so vivid that Lu Ke couldn't help laughing.
