New details have been revealed in the tale of Scott Robertson’s sudden departure from the All Blacks.
NZ Herald Editor-at-Large Shayne Currie has delved into the story in an article called ‘From Twickenham flashpoint to ‘hit job’ claims: The untold story and new details of Scott Robertson's All Blacks exit’, with first-hand accounts and sources giving shape to the saga.
Sources claimed as All Blacks coach, Robertson was unrecognisable to players he coached in Super Rugby, as he was always on edge and tense, and the fun stuff was gone.
Neil McGregor is a Leadership and Organisational Culture Consultant from Human Synergistics NZ, and he joined Piney to discuss how common is it for someone who is very well credentialed for a job to struggle once they start that role.
“There's an old saying, I think they call it the Peter Principle, where someone gets promoted to the level of incompetence,” he said.
“I’ve always thought that was not quite right, I always thought that actually it’s where people get promoted to the level of in-confidence.”
