A line has to be drawn in the sand somewhere, a moment utilised not for the arm around the shoulder but rather the hairdryer. Sometimes things can become to comfortable, words easily trotted out after defeats. Statements of learning lessons, working hard, training well are not worth the paper they are written on.
A well placed rocket that makes employees realise that no one is safe, no employment is guaranteed and no one is bigger than the club can serve to focus mind and body when done at the right time...and after today I cannot think of a more apt one.
