I think you misunderstood my comment.
When I said "public" I meant the whole of the KC Chiefs INTERNAL management staff, not the public as in the media and fans.
A good, effective manager would have picked up the wrapper (probably immediately) and mentioned it to the janitorial employee at a 1-on-1 or something.
Instead, Pioli leaves it there and waits to see if someone picks it up - it's "bait" at that point. THAT activity right there is a good indication of Pioli's personality, but I digress.
After waiting for a good period of time, he picks it up, puts it in an envelope and then brings it out at an EXECUTIVE meeting, as if to say "see the lazy good for nothing people we have working here?"
That's not effective management and it's a hilariously silly way to run a company, let alone a football team.
Stephanie Melton said it best in the article:
“He was so focused on what seemed like unimportant details for the general manager of a football team,” she said. “We all had to step to the beat of his drum, but we all kept questioning: ‘How is this building a better football team?’
