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.
I very very largely agree to all. However where the ego angle comes from for me, is his need to get players at any cost when they were in the media or the circumstances he got them. Namely the players I previously named.
