More From Michael Lewis

A manager sets objectives - a manager organizes - a manager motivates and communicates - a manager, by establishing yardsticks, measures - a manager develops people.
People Yardsticks Communicate
Yes, in baseball when the team stinks, you fire the manager. but you don't fire him because it rains. and you don't let the opposing team choose a new manager for you. and you don't fire him between innings. and replace him with a viennese weightlifter.
Baseball Team Rain
Praise the name of baseball. the word will set captives free. the word will open the eyes of the blind. the word will raise the dead. have you the word of baseball living inside you? has the word of baseball become part of you? do you live it, play it, digest it, forever? let an old man tell you to make the word of baseball your life. walk into the world and speak of baseball. let the word flow through you like water, so that it may quicken the thirst of your fellow man.

Worry Screw Ups Problem
Team leaders have to connect with their team and themselves. if they don't know their team's strengths and weaknesses, they cannot hand off responsibilities to the team. and if they don't know their own strengths and weaknesses, they will not hand off responsibilities to the team.

Change masters are - literally - the right people in the right place at the right time. the right people are the ones with the ideas that move beyond the organization's established practice, ideas they can form into visions. the right places are the integrative environments that support innovation, encourage the building of coalitions and teams to support and implement visions. the right times are those moments in the flow of organizational history when it is possible to reconstruct reality on the basis on accumulated innovations to shape a more productive and successful future.

I think there are definitely two types of student: the academic kids and the 50% who fail. it's very clear to see - it's fact. we're not doing enough for those who fail; they need a more physical, tactile approach, involving people skills, team-building, problem-solving, building things.
Team Kids Thinking
I never think about my own stats, as long as i'm contributing to the team.
