Just a few observations about Leadership relating to Cubs' "Worst to First" in five years.
Full Commitment to a Vision, and relentlessly getting all on-board.
Attention to Detail was critical; scouting, coaching, organization.
Invest wisely; no chasing past judgement mistakes.
"Culture eats strategy for breakfast." Crane Kenny.
"It's the Players and all about the Players." Joe Maddon.
Talent still needs mentoring and coaching. Talent alone produces only individual results.
Maybe obvious, but being a Leader, assembling a group of Leaders, and coaching Leaders is still what differentiates the best from the rest.
