George Brett's classic swing

[Clint Hurdle @ClintHurdle13]

50+ years in baseball. 17 as an MLB manager. over 2,500 games from the dugout.

I won Manager of the Year and also lost more games than I want to count.

I led teams through losing seasons and took a team to the World Series.

The biggest difference was leadership.

If I could go back to my first day as a leader, here are the 5 lessons I'd whisper in my own ear:

Lesson 1: Be a window when it's good, a mirror when it's bad.

The leaders I respected most shared every win and absorbed every hit.

What this looks like in practice:

• Wins: name the people who made it happen
• Losses: say "that's on me" before anyone asks
• Locker room: spotlight the effort before the outcome

Your team will fight harder for a leader who deflects credit and absorbs blame.

Lesson 2: Nobody hands you trust. You earn it before you coach it.

Early in my career, plenty of coaches tried to fix my swing.

I tuned out every one I didn't trust.

Get to know your people before you try to develop them.

Their hobbies, their family, what makes them tick.

Then the coaching lands.

Lesson 3: Shower well after every loss.

After a losing streak in Colorado, our team president asked me how I kept the clubhouse together.

This was my rule:

• Self-evaluate honestly, were we prepared, did we execute?
• Shower well, wash off the grit, grime, and angst before you walk out
• Be present for whoever you're going home to

Tomorrow is a new opportunity. Don't drag yesterday into it.

Lesson 4: Lead transformationally, not transactionally.

Transactional leaders ask: what can this person do for me?

Transformational leaders ask: how do I put this person in a position to win?

The first builds compliance.

The second builds careers.

When your people start chasing growth instead of your approval, you've crossed over.

Lesson 5: Stay humble before life humbles you.

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who are humble, and those who are about to be.

Discipline keeps you in the first group:

Skill gets you in the room. Humility keeps you there.

50 years taught me leadership isn't about you.

It's about the people you serve.

@JHershey21 I met him briefly last week when he was up visiting Hiller. Great guy.
2 things are clear.
He wants to win.
He loves the Gators.

@TheEXECUTlONER_ Now Ring him up 😂😂

[🐊🐊⚡️⚡️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ @jcolf1]

@drantbradley I have 3 kids. All tried it to varying degrees. We supported them all. 2 moved on from it, 1 is still very involved. We enjoy it and support him. Insecure people get conned by predatory organizations. But blanket statements aren’t helpful. Just be smart and honest with yourself.

[Zak Blair @coachzblair10]

The benches would clear after this one. It wouldn't be pretty 🤬

As the catcher how do you let this happen and not lay the hitter out?

Don’t walk people
Don’t strike out

You will win games

[Next Level Baseball @nextlevelbb]

With the amount of gizmos, gadgets, data and analytics college coaches are now featuring with player development.
A reasonable person would assume they would understand limiting strikeouts offensively and limiting walks defensively would be overly obvious in the pursuit of winning.
Although it seems like the mad scientist laboratories are only being used to advance showcase measurables and not things that contribute to actually playing the game more fundamentally.
I know this is too basic and they wouldn't be trend setters if they focus on the basics.

@Justincaseivn @unusual_whales After the govt gets theirs, (20% give or take)

So live and function on 60% of your middle manager salary. Unlikely
