From Americas Greatest Game…

The next book club selection is Management by Baseball: The Official Rules for Winning Management in Any Field (website) by Jeff Angus (LinkedIn profile), which will run in Jan/Feb 2014. Register now to earn PDUs and network with your colleagues.

The Book – Through Management by Baseball learn how Hall of Fame baseball managers like Connie Mack and John McGraw have more in common with today’s business leaders than you may think.

Find out why baseball managers like Joe Torre and Dusty Baker are better role models for business, government and non-profit management than even the most respected corporate giants.

Discussion Topics:

• How do you redesign corporate strategy in response to your competitors? Learn Joe Torre’s secret advantage.
• How do you start an organization from scratch? Take a page from baseball’s 19th century origins.
• How do you adapt to changing markets and social conditions? Learn from the man who invented Babe Ruth.
• What are the simplest ways to turn around a weak department? Pick up Dick Williams’ proven tactics.

In Management by Baseball, Jeff Angus arms you with practical examples and proven techniques you can use to improve your managerial effectiveness at work, at home-anywhere. As you dash from first base to home plate, Jeff Angus makes learning to become a great manager, a great reading experience:

How it works – We will read the book together over a period of weeks, commenting and discussing using between us (and perhaps the author will join in too!). It will culminate in a special webinar for our readers where we will discuss how we can apply the lessons to our own industry and ask questions of the author.
