Watching the Formula 1 show on Netflix, Drive to Survive, is always interesting for the contrasting leadership styles of the team principals.
The episode I watched last night (Season 8, episode 2 - Strictly Business) showed the stark contrast between how two teams at the back of the field do their thing.
Flavio Briatore is the Ming the Merciless figure/ team principal at Alpine F1 Team, while Jonathan Wheatley of Kick Sauber is the nice guy who rules via relentless positivity.
Flavio ruthlessly fires Aussie rookie driver Jack Doohan, while Jonathan nurtures and supports his rookie Gabriel Bortoleto. The drivers emerge from their meeting with Flavio grim faced while it's all smiles at Kick Sauber.
Guess which team emerges with a successful result at the end of the episode?
