HOW TO GET RESPECT LIKE LOUIS VAN GAAL
Louis Van Gaal has two very separate personas of behaviour. He fluctuates between cold and hard, and then warm and cuddly. This sets up an unpredictability that is unnerving and therefore potentially powerful for him.
If you are a player that has taken his help and performed well, he shows you the ecstatic, high-five gesture and gives you a big warm, cuddly man-hug. You can see how much this delights the players, especially as moments before he was instructing them with an aggressive head-down demeanor, walking into their personal space, causing them to back up and be intimidated. The aggression and then, moments later, love, is highly effective in manipulating players looking to gain his respect.
If you are a reporter that does not side with his self-assumed brilliance, he shows you a steely glare and uses cold tones to demonstrate his anger and contempt. In many of his pictures and videos, he shows the forehead down, targeted stare and tight upper lip associated with anger.
It might be fair to classify his personality as narcissistic demonstrated by the way he treats anyone not respecting his acts or advice. His bully-like non-verbal behaviour, which can turn on a dime into physical outburst when he’s shown to be right, means that you could describe his personality as unstable.
This is not a behaviour that earns respect but rather manipulates or demands it. As a result, LVG’s is not a management style that would be recommended to anyone who is not already in a position of high power. It’s all about how he’s holding onto his power rather than earning it
