Required reading

An interesting book from one of the great managers. Should be on the shelf of every manager (and I'm not just referring to those of sports teams) along with the generally unread Sun Tzu Art of War. Earl Weaver knows more about how to get a collection of headstrong and difficult human beings to work together to accomplish his goals than most of the business (and political) CEOs that have left their mark on this country. Whether you run a McDonald's franchise or a department of AIG, studying this book will be as helpful as it is entertaining. You might want to read up a bit on the Rules of Baseball as well, though.
