Management by Baseball

I was asked to do a book or website review as we are going to throw those in every so often for the segment of our readers (like myself) that enjoy that type of thing so I’m simply going to refer you to Management by Baseball because it's up on my screen now. I came across this site a few months ago and I'm obsessed with the information and analysis it provides.

The site provides interesting prospective on correlations between baseball and business management. It’s very well written and provides interesting, entertaining and thought provoking concepts that many of you in management positions will benefit from. Here’s the prologue right from the site. –Paul Leume

What do Hall of Fame baseball managers like Connie Mack & John McGraw have in common with today’s business leaders? Why are baseball managers like Tony LaRussa & Ozzie Guillen role models for management that corporate heroes like Jack Welch, Ken Lay & Bill Gates? And what does Peter Drucker have to do with Oriole ex-manager Earl Weaver? Management consultant & ex-baseball reporter Jeff Angus shows you almost everything you need to know about management you can learn from baseball.
