“13 core principles of managing:
1. Make a personal connection first; everything else follows.
2. There is only one team rule. (Respect 90)
3. Freedom is empowering.
4. Never hold a team meeting in your home clubhouse.
5. Do not have a fine system.
6. Wear whatever you think makes you look hot.
7. Empower your coaches.
8. But don’t allow your coaches—or veterans—to be harsh on young players.
9. Question data with feel.
10. Pregame work is excessive.
11. Keep signs simple and to a minimum.
12. A lineup card is all a manager needs in the dugout.
13. Forget “The Book.” Making the first or third out at third base is okay.”
