Thanks for the #CaptainMyth reference @ricktimes, much appreciated.
I love this bit of the process, it’s when the myths are created, as the actions and decisions of the captain are retrofitted to explain success/failure.
We’re storytelling animals

Mo Bobat, ECB head of performance, sent me this.
He and Ed Smith referenced it during England cricket selection meetings.
#Poch and #conte represent two stories.

Wrote about this in #CaptainMyth - oil price has always been a key factor in the attribution error of anointing leaders as Good or Bad
Wild that political approval basically boils down to whether gas prices are high or low
There’s a very good book on fundamental attribution error in relation to the sports leadership delusion #CaptainMyth
Sacking David Moyes was an error caused by a failure to appreciate regression to the mean. This was obvious at the time, although I didn’t get very far pointing it out back then.
#CaptainMyth alert Don’t pin the blame on Padraig Harrington – a Ryder Cup captain plays little more than a marketing role | Sport | The Times https://t.co/iOsq01N8kb

There’s a good book about this #CaptainMyth

I'm a student of attribution error. And there's a good one in this tweet...#CaptainMyth

Sathnam Sanghera thinks we're seeing a gradual change in business culture from shouty behaviour and top-down command-and-control leadership. Let's hope he's right https://t.co/YTqqHHtQC2
Due in large part to the stories we use to talk about leadership #CaptainMyth
I know we live in a time and place where we’re supposed to treat billionaires like Zuckerberg like geniuses but I feel like “fucking up constantly” and “getting caught fucking up constantly” and “accidentally almost collapsing society” are the qualities of a huge dumbass
Pete Bevacqua goes from PGA of America to head NBC Sports - that Ryder Cup task force is still reaping rewards #CaptainMyth
The idea it’s better to top our group and get a QF against Brazil/Germany than finish 2nd and get Mexico/Switzerland because coming top will give us ‘momentum' strikes me as aaaaaaaabsolute bollocks.
