Most of us come from a culture that has been born out of a design to run the British Empire as efficiently as possible. We value a core of education that allow us to keep records and do book keeping, we value schedules and a hierarchy where orders given by our superiors are followed without needing to know why.
This is how we've wired our brains, so it's very hard to understand a different way. Similarly, it's very hard for someone who's brain has been wired another way to understand our way.
But understanding it can only come after you accept that people are different and your way isn't the only way, nor is it a better way. It's just different. It might be someone from a different ethnic culture, it might just be a different generation but the same management concepts come into play.
If you imagine that the players are wooden pegs and a clyb's way of dealing with them is a round hole. The people who went to Hale are nice and round and fit straight through. Some are a bit rough and need a bit of refinement before you can get them through.
But when you come across a square peg and your only way of dealing with players is a round hole, you try and reshape them into a boy who went to Hale, attempting to take off all the bits that don't fit your view of how a person should be until they fit your hole.
Now, if good pegs are hard to come by, if everyone is fighting over the roundest pegs and the shape of the peg has no relationship to their potential output then learning to manage pegs of all shapes, without wasting energy on conformity, will give you a huge advantage over your competition.
You've got a fixed number of resources in an AFL team. They are locked in at the start of each season and transfer of assets is expensive and carries a deal of risk. If you're not able to get the most out of each of your resources then then you're failing as a management team and need to change the way you are operating.
Complaining that someone doesn't fit in with the way things are done is inefficient and a poor way of running an organisation.
