Management Wisdom from the New York Yankees' Dynasty
What Every Manager Can Learn from a Legendary Team
Recommendation
The New York Yankees are one of the most successful teams in sports history, a hugely profitable enterprise and a model of excellence. In this in-depth, business-oriented look at baseball’s most storied franchise, author Lance A. Berger, writing with Dorothy R. Berger, suggests that any business interested in achieving greatness should study the Yankees’ management techniques. He cites having a bigger payroll than other teams and using that money to secure top talent, but the lessons go well beyond that. People who follow both business and baseball – Yankees fans, in particular – will appreciate this analysis. The book dates to 2005, so its baseball stats aren’t up to date, but its management advice is a home run.
