On This Day in Leadership History, March 21, 2016
On this day in leadership history in 1989, it was announced that Cincinnati Reds manager Pete Rose was under investigation for gambling on baseball. In 2004, after years of public denial, Rose admitted to betting on baseball and on, but not against, the Reds.
A switch hitter, Rose is the all-time Major League leader in hits (4,256), games played (3,562), at-bats (14,053), singles (3,215), and outs (10,328). The leadership lesson? Know yourself and guard your character as a leader.
