There's nothing wrong with being demanding, setting expectations, and rewarding good work. Belittling people, refusing to explain your decisions, non-merit-based favouritism, and Machiavellian mind games ARE wrong, though, even if they get results, and doubly wrong if they don't, which they are unlikely to do in an environment where your underlings are not easily replaceable commodities and rather highly skilled specialists from a severely limited labour pool.

I think some are offering different points of view, however who are the people supporting the
"Belittling people, refusing to explain your decisions, non-merit-based favouritism, and Machiavellian mind games ARE wrong,"?
Though some posters want a coach who can lead the team and not coddle to players I doubt there is anyone who supports, mind games and belittling of players etc.
Lets try not to generalize, but you do make an excellent point about unacceptable behaviour.
