Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou says it's important he always leads by example.

Postecoglou has been praised for lifting the atmosphere inside the club with his no-nonsense approach and he accepts the buck will always stop with him.

He said, "It's a process. A lot of it is just behaviours and particularly my behaviour. When I'm the new person in the building, people are looking at me a lot. So what I do, what I say, how I behave is a fairly good indicator of the environment I want. I've said before if I walk past someone and don't say hello, people notice. If I'm not here first thing in the morning, people notice.

"If I'm not really passionate about what I do, people will notice. If I don't come in here every day feeling pretty blessed that I'm doing something I love, people will notice.

"That's your starting point. I think most people will get a fairly good indicator of what I want by just seeing me. Then you try to get like-minded people around you, the staff report in, whether that's new staff or existing staff, and hopefully those dominoes fall fairly quickly. Then people have a choice of whether they want to be a part of that or not.

"It is a process but I always feel it begins and ends with me. Regardless of what kind of environment I want to set, if I'm not showing or believing in those behaviours, if it's just something I want to do artificially, if I want to be strict around time and how we talk and make rules, then I don't think people are going to respond if they don't see me actually doing it."
