Successful leaders understand what motivates each individual on the team (eg, prestige, development opportunities, etc) and tries to match rewards to those individual motivations. There's lots to digest about what Paul did very, very well," Ian Poulter told BBC Sport. "Tom Watson is way more accomplished as a player than what Paul McGinley is, so he couldn't go up against his record. The pair infamously fell out after Clarke changed his mind on supporting McGinley's bid to captain the European team at the 2014 tournament, deciding instead to also run for the top role. In 2014, Europe defeated the USA team by 16½ points to 11½, for their third consecutive win. On the second day (Saturday) of the three-day tournament, McGinley’s team had a four-point lead. They needed to stay ahead.

But he warned that leading Europe's charge for a record fourth successive Ryder Cup later this year could cost him more friends.

Watson, by contrast, was made to look an out-dated figure. He erroneously contended the only difference to the last time he did the job in 1993 was the increased demands of the media. From before he was appointed, McGinley's every thought and move was designed to create such a platform for his European team. Paul is so methodical, every single aspect that he needed to touch on, he did. Very, very inspiring. I’ve been fortunate to have a lot of great captains, but Paul did things a little bit different but he did it with great style.”

There was none of that in the US post-match news conference in Scotland. Instead they looked broken, beaten and disunited. Realising that leadership is about the leader is an important place to start. The idea that people are just born leaders isn’t true. It’s important that people examine, sometimes brutally, as McGinley has, their strengths and weaknesses. Being self-aware is the first step to the most important trait of all: inspiring people to believe in you. McGinley displays the tightrope balancing act of a leader: with meticulousness weighted on one side and strategic elasticity on the other. On the one hand, there’s nothing effective about an autocratic leader who doesn’t learn from past results and who is deaf to new ideas. On the other, it's not enough to reflect and to have a contingency plan; it’s also about having the courage to say: “I need to rethink this.” He has also been on winning teams for the Seve Trophy, World Cup and the Royal Trophy, and in 2009 and 2011 led the Britain and Ireland team to victory as captain in the Vivendi Trophy.
