So how did this team re-write history? By looking at it as a problem, and working to solve it. Their problem was everything from a curse to 86 years of failure to the weight of a city on their shoulders.
How do you concur a problem… a problem that you may see no way out from and the chips are stacked against you?
You can break any problem down into 4 simple steps… no matter how big or small the challenge may be.
I warn you – these 4 steps work every time!
1. Intention – You have to want to change something before you can change it.
2. Willingness – Do the things you need to do change an unwanted habit or trend.
3. Commitment – Set a rock-solid contract with yourself not to fail no matter what.
4. Observation – Take a few minutes each day and observe how t
Disasters can come out of nowhere. Giant thunderstorms can appear without a moment's notice, knocking out telephone and power lines. A bad dinner at a local restaurant can have a member of your staff flat on their back with food poisoning. Open up your collateral material only to discover that it's not what you packed. How do you compensate for these potential catastrophic situations?Your key to success is advance preparation. Many challenges can be addressed using your common sense and creativity. But implementing those solutions can be tricky.Advance preparation can make the difference between success and failure. By starting well in advance of your trade
You just have to ‘tap your caps’ to them.
No matter if you are a baseball fan or not; even if you love the team or can’t stand them… you have to marvel at how they did it.
My name is David Pynn; I’m the guy that helps people grow their businesses.
Amongst my coaching clients, conference calls and other obligations in October, I had to take some time and see them do it.
What you ask?
I had to see the self-proclaimed ‘idiots’ make baseball history.
For those reader’s not familiar with this story, let me fill you in.
The Boston Red Sox are a Major League Baseball team in North America. They have not won their Leagues Championship series (The World Series) since 1918.
Are you familiar with Babe Ruth?
He was once a player on the Boston Red Sox and was traded to their hated rivals… the New York Yankees. Some fans say a curse was born that day, as since that trade 86 years ago; the New York Yankees have won numerous titles and World Series victories. On the other hand, the Boston Red Sox have seen nothing but disaster.
But the faithful fans of Boston have held true to their team for decades. Some fans born and died without ever seeing their favourite team win a Championship… at least until this year.
The Major League Baseball playoffs are a month long event where a Champion is crowned. To win the World Series, a team must go through and defeat 3 different teams in a “best of” format.
Series One is a “best of 5” format, and Series two and the final series are “best of 7” formats.
The Red Sox won their first series against the Anaheim Angels. It went all 5 games, and was a great series. Unfortunately for Boston, the Yankees won their 1st series and advanced to play them in the 2nd Series.
Let me set this up for you…
The media was a frenzy, everything from Babe Ruth and the curse to years past with the Yankees winning over Boston was all people were talking about.
Some people say that this is the best rivalry in North American sport.
The best of 7 format went like this… Games 1 & 2, and games 6 & 7 were played in Yankee Stadium while Games 3 to 5 were played in Boston.
The Yankees went on to win the first 3 games of this series, and take a 3-0 lead in this best of 7 playoff. Game 2 made the record books as the final score was 19-8. It was the highest scoring game in Major League History.
The verdict was is… no team in Major League Baseball history has ever come back from a 3-0 series lead to win a playoff series. The Boston Red Sox were done. Another year of disappointment for the Boston faithful, and yet another year where they lost to the Yankees.
Most teams of men and women would have called it a season. Being down 3-0 in a best of 7 series brings out many emotions: frustration, disappointment and even a little anxiety.
But this team taught me about resiliency remember?
How do you stare history in the face, and re-write it? Simple… you take it one game at a time.
To make a long story short, the Boston Red Sox won the next 3 games to tie the series and force a final game 7, where they beat the Yankees 8-3 in Yankee Stadium.
These self-proclaimed ‘idiots’ did it. They went on to win the last Championship Series against the St. Louis Cardinals. It only took them 4 games, and they made the best team in baseball look foolish.
So how did this team re-write history? By looking at it as a problem, and working to solve it. Their problem was everything from a curse to 86 years of failure to the weight of a city on their shoulders.

There is no particular set of rules that one should follow in motivating employees. We each have our own driving force when it comes to doing an excellent job at work. A working mother could be motivated by her children, who serve as her inspiration to succeed. A trainee who is fresh out of college is motivated by the compulsion to learn and climb to the top. A long-time company employee will get motivated to perform well so that he or she can be promoted. Others are motivated by financial rewards. As a manager, team leader, department head or supervisor, you need to determine the individual driving forces of those who are in your team so that you can create a motivated

Although companies have much in common with one another, they also differ in many ways. Some companies are large, some are small and some operate in only one product area, others operate in many diversified areas. Some operate in a small geographic area whereas others do business in many countries of the world. To cope with these varied objectives, strategies and situations, companies adopt different structures.Departmentation is the process of dividing the company into manageable subunits. The subunits are often referred to as departments, divisions or sections. So many flexible structures are adopted these days to meet the specific needs of the companies. When

In the past few decades, there has been a great revolution in the way the management deals with and treats its employees and staff.
