We don’t chase novelty tools. We focus on the thinking and structure that makes any tool useful: clear role briefs, behaviours over labels, constraints and trade-offs, repeatable shortlisting, and decision review that actually improves the process. Each episode gives you something you can use: - Role Definition Templates (behaviour-based, not position labels) - Question sets that lead to better shortlists - Meeting Structures that stop recruitment becoming a persuasion contest - Simple Ways to Stress-Test Decisions (“what would make this wrong?”) - How AI Fits Safely: drafting, checking, standardising outputs — never replacing judgement If you work in recruitment, scouting, analysis, coaching, or you’re aiming to, this show is for you. Clarity First. Tools Second.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-i-in-football-6622013"},"episode":{"title":"Ep53: The Manager Problem - When The Brief Gets Overruled","slug":"ep53-the-manager-problem-when-the-brief-gets-overruled","published_at":"2026-04-10T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-i-in-football-6622013/ep53-the-manager-problem-when-the-brief-gets-overruled","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-i-in-football-6622013","url":"https://atc.captivate.fm/episode/ep53","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/cd608d05-a1f9-4c01-be39-fe92c2698eaf.mp3","summary":"Click Here To Learn More About The 'First XI Platform' The Three Manager Dynamics Join the Free Kickstart Challenge Summary In this episode, Tom Butterfield and David Bromley explore the complexities of managing recruitment processes in football, focusing on overcoming managerial resistance, framing processes as the manager's voice, and handling high-pressure override situations.
