TAKE IT TO A NEW PLATE! WHAT BASEBALL HAS TAUGHT ME ABOUT COUNTY LEADER EXPECTATIONS BASEBALL IS ONE OF THE FEW SPORTS THAT MIRRORS REAL LIFE: IT IS LONG, DRAWN OUT, FILLED WITH BOREDOM AND EXCITEMENT, REPEATED FAILURES AND GREAT LESSONS ON LEADERSHIP. JON HENRY EXPECT A WINNING SEASON EVERY DAY IS A NEW OPPORTUNITY. YOU CAN BUILD ON YESTERDAY’S SUCCESS OR PUT ITS FAILURES BEHIND AND START OVER AGAIN. THAT’S THE WAY LIFE IS, WITH A NEW GAME EVERYDAY, AND THAT’S THE WAY BASEBALL IS. BOB FELLER WORK AS A TEAM BASEBALL IS A SIMPLE GAME. IF YOU HAVE GOOD PLAYERS AND YOU KEEP THEM IN THE RIGHT FRAME OF MIND, THEN THE MANAGER IS A SUCCESS. SPARKY ANDERSON KEEP COOL UNDER PRESSURE IMAGINE IF YOU HAD BASEBALL CARDS THAT HELD ALL THE PERFORMANCE STATS FOR YOUR PEOPLE: BATTING AVERAGES, HOME RUNS, ERRORS, WIN/LOSS RECORDS. YOU COULD SEE WHAT THEY DID WELL AND POORLY AND CALL ON THE RIGHT PEOPLE TO PLAY THE RIGHT POSITIONS IN A VERY TRANSPARENT WAY. RAY DALIO SHOWCASE YOUR TEAM THE BIGGEST THING IS TO HAVE A SWAGGER WHEN YOU TAKE THE FIELD. WHEN YOU’RE NOT GOING WELL, YOU HAVE TO CHANGE SOMETHING – THE BIGGEST THING IS THE WAY YOU CARRY YOURSELF. YOU HAVE TO WALK LIKE YOU BELONG WITH THE BEST, GO UP TO THE PLATE LIKE YOU KNOW YOU BELONG WITH THE BEST. THAT’S SWAGGER. BRUCE BOCHY TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF MAINTAIN LIFE - WORK (BASEBALL) BALANCE WORK WITH NEW AND UNFAMILIAR PEOPLE THE BETTER YOU ARE, THE MORE FUN IT IS THE ORGANIZATION MUST UNDERSTAND THE GAME LEADERSHIP, LIKE BASEBALL, HAS THE POWER TO TRANSFORM
