Seasoned baseball manager Torre organizes his leadership wisdom into 12 key principles that can be applied to any situation in which you are managing or reporting to other people. Steadiness, optimism, serenity and mutual respect are some of the keys, and it's impressive in these times to hear him promote absolute loyalty in relationships, even when people are making your life miserable. He gives great examples of his ability to understand people and to work with their individual differences without sacrificing the team's purpose or integrity. It's a great story/lesson that's been seamlessly abridged, and Torre reads it in a natural way with a deep, secure speaking voice. This is a genuine listening treat. T.W.
