Despite being one of the greatest managers of all-time, Jose Mourinho's leadership style is extremely polarizing.
After studying his motivational techniques, I'm convinced they can be applied to leadership positions in business.
Here are 5 examples.

Time for a thread
1) Team first, individuals second.
Despite Cristiano Ronaldo being a winger, Jose Mourinho started him at the 9 position in the 2011 Copa del Rey final against Barcelona.
Why? "It was better for the team."
The result?
Ronaldo scored the game winning goal in extra time.

2) Never ask someone to do something you're unwilling to do.
Jose Mourinho works "16 hour days scouting and coaching."
The result?
"This guy gives everything for the team, so I want to give everything for him. People were willing to kill for him."
— Zlatan Ibrahimovic

3) Showcase your passion & commitment.
Despite being suspended, Jose Mourinho snuck into the locker room for Chelsea's match against Bayern Munich — because "it was a big game & my boys needed me."
The best part?
When security came looking, Mourinho hid in the laundry basket.

4) Confidence is contagious.
While some have labeled Jose Mourinho as arrogant for calling himself "a special one", his players see things differently.
“He makes us believe we are better than we are… He brought my confidence to a level it had never been”.
— Frank Lampard

5) Coaches coach, leaders lead.
In his two decades of experience, Jose Mourinho has won over 200 premier league matches.
The secret to his success?
Find leaders, not captains.
"You don't buy leaders - you don't make leaders. When you have them, your team is one step ahead."

6) What qualities does the legendary Jose Mourinho believe a coach should have?
“A coach must be everything: a tactician, motivator, leader, methodologist, psychologist.”
Mourhino is talking about sports, but is it really that different from business?
I don't think so.
