This is how I treat my sales team no differently than my college baseball team ‼️ ⚾️ Our philosophy at General Informatics is simple - “We’re not going to talk about what we’re going to accomplish, we’re going to talk about how we’re going to do it.” #sales #salescareers #deltastate #fightingokra #informationtechnology

Looking forward to hearing this podcast. The personal cost of leadership can be tough to deal with. When you believe in what you do and are a part of the team's story, the hardships become shared and the group becomes tighter. Culture is lived and shared. #vulnerability #leadership #culture #highperformance

The Grizzlies are now 3-13 overall and 0-8 at home. Check what lineup adjustment I believe can help alleviate the scoring burden 👇🏾 https://lnkd.in/eUXyKZ4i

42…Humility…leading to Credibility…leading to Respect This is Mariano “Mo” Rivera entering Yankee Stadium to the tune of Metallica’s “Enter Sandman.” When he was called upon, he had one job…to secure a win. The tune was fitting because, when Mo was on the mound, he was sending each batter he faced to sleep. He was reliable, consistent, and disciplined. His humility, character, and poise were exemplary. And when his career was done, he became the only player in baseball history to be unanimously voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Baseball is more than a pastime to me. I learn something every game I watch. Patience, grit, effort, decisions, mistakes, missed opportunities, and the joy of victory. I learned about teamwork, egos, and courage. But most importantly, I learned about the power of confidence backed by ascetic preparation. There is none better than Mo, maybe Jeter, to encapsule this narrative as players I watched in my lifetime. Mo was simply trusted to seal the deal; his credibility well respected across the league. I must admit, I am biased towards the Yankees as a die-hard fan, but it is no accident why they have 27 championships. They want people like Mo, like Jeter, like Matsui, like Cone, and going all the way back to Mantle. They want disciplined teammates that wear no names on their jerseys, only the team which they represent. The have the strictest of standards in the clubhouse, in their physical appearance, and the equipment they wear. They remind each other that they must sacrifice personal desires in order to get to the next championship. They live to win, and they sacrifice to wear those famed pinstripes. I am confident that the 28th championship is soon to come. But until that time, I will continue to reap the life lessons of America’s Pastime. I treated my military uniform as if I were wearing those pinstripes. I was there to win, to sacrifice, and to set the example. Leadership lessons are everywhere…we just have to pay attention. Go Yanks, continue to set the example. #seac4 #military #standards #discipline #nyyankees

The 2023 MLB Draft wrapped up earlier this week: a 20 round draft where the 620 best and brightest amateur players took their first step towards their dream of making it to the big leagues.  Countless hours are spent scouting these young stars at tournaments in blistering heat and freezing cold.  Days meticulously prepping draft boards in front offices of the 30 MLB teams, hoping that these 18-23 year olds can someday lead their team to a championship.  The brightest star of the 2023 draft was Paul Skenes, The #1 Overall draft pick, Louisiana State University’s Friday Night starter, and National Player of the year.  With a fastball that tops out at over 100 miles an hour and several broken strikeout records, Skenes is touted as one of the best pitching prospects of the last decade.  The Pittsburgh Pirates hope to see a big impact soon from Skenes. Newtforce sat down with Paul to discuss the impact of Newtforce’s system on his training and success while at LSU.  Paul told us “The mound removes any guesswork on what I am doing with my lower half and allows me to see trends and make adjustments between pitches.” Read the rest of our chat with Skenes at the link below, and learn more about how Newtforce is revolutionizing the world of pitching development. https://lnkd.in/gwAGkX_w #baseball #collegebaseball #pitching
