In about 460 BCE, after the Persian invasion had been repelled by the combined Greek forces, Sparta was facing a revolt by its serf population in Messene, and making heavy weather in putting it down. Athens offered to help and sent an expeditionary force to reinforce the Spartan forces. The Athenians were very adventurous in their operations, and showed up Spartan methods, which was based on trying to force a pitched battle with an elusive opposition which declined to make itself such a target. There is also a suggestion thet the Athenians showed some sympathy for the Messenians. The upshot was that Sparta invited the Athenians to go home, and the usual cooperative spirit between the two cities soured.

After peace was finally made with the Persians in 449 BCE, Athens converted the anti-Persian Delian League which it led into an empire of its own, continuing to levy the war fund from the 200 cities of that league to use for its own benefit and maintaining a strong navy to enforce the annual collection of money. With this strength, Athens aggressively interfered in the affairs of the cities to which Sparta was allied in the Peloponnesian League, particularly Corinth.

The Peloponnesian League members urged Sparta to help them stand up to Athens. A cocksure Athens persisted in interfering in other cities, and this came to a head when Athens banned Megara, a Peloponnesian League member, from trade with cities in its empire, which would destroy Megara. The Peloponnesian League demanded Sparta act, Sparta demanded Athens back off, Athens refused, war ensued.

What is ineffective management?

When you think about your best manager, boss or supervisor, what do you think of first? The overwhelming answer (in a word) is trust. You trust that what this person is bringing to the table is true. You trust that they will behave in a way that will continue your professional relationship. You trust that when they say something they mean it and they will do what they say. These people are not perfect but because they want to be the best manager they can be you trust that they will at least try harder for the company and you. There is honesty in their words and you believe them when they relay information. This is the guy or gal that will inspire you to be better and you want to do your best for the company as well. I've met 2 people like this in my 26 years in the workforce.
