World Series MVP David Ortiz's Big, Bold, On-the-fly Leadership Lessons

It’s lessons:

 

1.  Borrow from other industries.  I.e., the huddle.

2.  Develop skills outside your wheelhouse.  I.e., Ortiz not only hit hard (his wheelhouse) but also ran and sacrificed to score a run.

 

3.  Act decisively.  I.e., taking that bat to the telephone in an earlier game.  (I thought this was a bad example and ruled out using it as a TR for that reason.)

 

4.  Love your enemies – and don’t be afraid to have some fun.  I.e., his trip to NYC where he hugged a number of people on the street – Yankee lovers.

 

5.  Breaking the rules is sometimes OK.
