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
