Valuing People: Nigel Pearson
Appreciating people for who they are 鈥� not just for what they do.
Appreciating people for who they are 鈥� not just for what they do. Nigel Pearson has managed Southampton, Hull, Derby, Watford and Leicester in his time. He was in charge just before Claudio Ranieri came in and led the team to their stunning Premier League title success. Many players and staff from that 2016 title-winning squad say Nigel deserves lots of credit for the work he did in laying the ground that enabled them to pull off the most remarkable title triumph in living memory. Kasper Schmeichel paid tribute to his man-management skills, saying he treated everyone with the same level of care as if they were his own children. His ability to create a cohesive unit was fundamental. That's why the theme of this episode is "valuing people", something Nigel both preaches and practices. @simonmundie
