Are sports or­gan­i­sa­tions or­gan­ised for yes­ter­day and not for to­day? To thine own self be true. It’s a rare ex­cep­tion for lead­ers to take ul­ti­mate re­spon­si­bil­i­ty for their de­ci­sions, to ad­mit they made a mis­take and take re­spon­si­bil­i­ty for do­ing some­thing about it. Be­cause of emo­tion­al com­mit­ment, it’s hard to make dif­fi­cult de­ci­sions. And be­cause of that re­luc­tance, or­gan­i­sa­tions run in­to avoid­able prob­lems with long-term con­se­quences.
