The Face of a Manager

Steve Wang and I spoke on the same panel at the AAAS conference in February. I knew Alan Schwarz wanted to write an article on Wang's work, and here it is. Steve uses faces as a visual tool to show managers tendencies. You can see the faces here. Randomly, Steve chose head width as the parameter for gaining the platoon advantage. Bruce Bochy comes out with a big head by this measure, just like in real life. Joe Maddon looks appropriately sad, given his record with the Rays.
