When Conroy said he didn’t involve others in his trade talks (more or less) what other reason would that be the case aside from his own pride? He may be the stereotypical egomaniac running around with proclamations of self grandeur, but his actions show he also wasn’t the humble team first leader some paint him as. To me his ego ran the show and that’s very much like a lot of politicians.

Treliving working independently is a top down management style, these types of managers may make the final decision, it does have its disadvantages. Some managers are delegators, they might manage by telling people what they want done and how they want it done. This also has some disadvantages too; But now many companies are seeing the benefits of the empowerment model which empowers individuals or teams by giving them the tools to use their skills and ideas. Conroy talks about using everyone, about making decisions together and he talks about letting players use their talents. These are empowerment models of management. Conroy has also talked in the past about his interest in how other leagues do certain things so he is thinking and creating outside the box. Treliving has accomplished a lot and founded a hockey league,so these would be indicators as to why he likes to be in charge of the direction of what he manages. Not necessarily pride but a different approach to accomplishing goals. I like what Conroy has to offer verses top down because he seems a bit more connected to the little things that matter and won't leave it too long for the coach or player to figure out. There is a lot to like about Conroy, he is very infectious and seems like a humble but smart man.
