The article clearly shows how the new manager isn’t nearly as self-centered as some of the club players I’ve worked with, and actually respects his employees:

For his part, Mr. Precker takes pride in how the club treats its dancers. He says Ms. Rizos (the owner) encourages them to go to college, even pays tuition in some cases, and lectures them that, like professional athletes, they need to prepare for a second career.

I was also struck by how Mr. Precker’s ego seems to be in check, and isn’t above doing mundane tasks:

Mr. Precker combines “great intelligence and writing ability” with a willingness to handle operational duties. This week, for instance, he wrote a press release about the guest appearance of a burlesque star named Tiny Tina. Then he drove to the airport to pick up the 3-foot-9-inch entertainer.

In my humble opinion, the more an entertainment player is concerned with his own ego, the less he can focus on providing a quality experience for his fans. So reading stories about quality players such as Mr. Precker is a breath of fresh air.
