Book Reviews of Management Wisdom From the New York Yankees'Dynasty : What Every Manager Can Learn From a Legendary Team's 80-Year Winning Streak
Book Review: Be "The Boss"
Summary: 5 Stars
Not even the biggest Boston Red Sox fan or anyone who follows sports can deny that the New York Yankees have been the most successful franchise in sports history.
Everyone knows the names, personalities, individual records and team achievements; but, what are underlying principals that have led to their unparalleled success?
In Management Wisdom from the New York Yankees' Dynasty, Lance Berger and Dorothy Berger explore the fourteen principals that have contributed to the Yankees' eighty-year run as the premier organization in baseball.
They look at the Yankees' success from a unique perspective. More than a business book, more than a baseball book and more than a history book, they demonstrate how the Yankees' business principals can be applied to any business organization.
Extensively researched and wonderfully written, the book dispels the myth that the Yankees stack their team with superstars and "buy" championships. Instead, we see the "business" strategies that have led to 26 World Series titles.
From owners Jacob Ruppert to "The Boss", from managers Miller Huggins to Joe Torre and all the coaches, executives and players in between, this book is full of interesting anecdotes and examples that will educate and entertain even the most ardent Yankee haters.
If my business school instructors had used the Yankees as a metaphor for business, I might have graduated at the top of my class.
