Not sure it applies to Mancini. Mancini has never had the dressing room. He does not court the dressing room. Mancini's angle is to make the players do it for themselves not for him. Doing it 'for the manager' is an alien concept. Its one of the reasons why he can improve players (well those he deems worthy and doesn't bomb out) he makes them look at themsleves and if they are the 'right types' improvement will come helped by the fact that Mancini is a very good technical coach.
But the lack of warmth or the personal touch may always be a problem but I doubt he will change that.
That works for year or two, when you exploit it to the last bit, it's a downfall then.
You can play hard games with someone for some time but when one, two or three get enough of that, you're doomed.
