"No other management book I've read
delivers so much insight and fun in such a compact
package. And no other baseball book, period,
teaches you so much about management -- and yourself. I
nominate Jeff Angus for Manager of the Year." |
From the Back Cover
Why are baseball managers like Joe Torre
and Dusty Baker better role models for business, non-profit and
government managers than respected corporate giants like Jack
Welch and Bill Gates? What could Hall of Fame managers like John
McGraw teach today’s leaders?
Managing the Mechanics
Every day of the baseball season, skippers juggle complex
decisions, handle abstract concepts, assess research and apply it
all to the problems at hand. Learn from the masters' hits - and
the bunglers' errors.
Managing Talent
Great baseball managers know how to get the most out of a team by
understanding how to evaluate and motivate players - and who to
hire and fire. Learn their methods to drive your team to higher
accomplishments.
Managing Yourself
Winning managers examine their own strengths and weaknesses to
overcome limiting habits and biases. Boost your own skills by
learning how baseball’s best come to grips with traps that
undermine effectiveness.
Managing Change--and Driving It
The best baseball managers know how to adapt to significant
changes in the game. Lessons from baseball will teach you how to
thrive in times of change and actively drive changes to your
organization’s advantage - and your own.
Driving home practical examples and proven techniques from his frontline management consulting, former baseball writer Jeff Angus delivers entertaining lessons from over a century of the National Pastime for fans and managers alike.
