Questioning Joe
TBO.com publishes a fascinating interview with Joe Maddon. My favorite part:
Maddon: The first significant book I read was Michener's "Centennial." My Uncle Chuck told me I needed to read it. It got me into heavy reading. There was stuff about plate tectonics, the separation of the continents, about Colorado. He wrote about how the Indians would get the lead buffalo running toward a cliff and the other buffalo followed, and they'd be at the bottom, just carving them up. That's a principle I use. In any good administrator, you always want to latch onto the lead buffalo and get him running the right direction, because everybody else will follow.
Us: Over a cliff?
Maddon: Scratch the cliff.
