50+ years in baseball. 17 as an MLB manager. over 2,500 games from the dugout.
I won Manager of the Year and also lost more games than I want to count.
I led teams through losing seasons and took a team to the World Series.
The biggest difference was leadership.
If I could go back to my first day as a leader, here are the 5 lessons I'd whisper in my own ear:
Lesson 1: Be a window when it's good, a mirror when it's bad.
The leaders I respected most shared every win and absorbed every hit.
What this looks like in practice:
• Wins: name the people who made it happen
• Losses: say "that's on me" before anyone asks
• Locker room: spotlight the effort before the outcome
Your team will fight harder for a leader who deflects credit and absorbs blame.
Lesson 2: Nobody hands you trust. You earn it before you coach it.
Early in my career, plenty of coaches tried to fix my swing.
I tuned out every one I didn't trust.
Get to know your people before you try to develop them.
Their hobbies, their family, what makes them tick.
Then the coaching lands.
Lesson 3: Shower well after every loss.
After a losing streak in Colorado, our team president asked me how I kept the clubhouse together.
This was my rule:
• Self-evaluate honestly, were we prepared, did we execute?
• Shower well, wash off the grit, grime, and angst before you walk out
• Be present for whoever you're going home to
Tomorrow is a new opportunity. Don't drag yesterday into it.
Lesson 4: Lead transformationally, not transactionally.
Transactional leaders ask: what can this person do for me?
Transformational leaders ask: how do I put this person in a position to win?
The first builds compliance.
The second builds careers.
When your people start chasing growth instead of your approval, you've crossed over.
Lesson 5: Stay humble before life humbles you.
There are two kinds of people in this world: those who are humble, and those who are about to be.
Discipline keeps you in the first group:
Skill gets you in the room. Humility keeps you there.
50 years taught me leadership isn't about you.
It's about the people you serve.

Why the Somali fraud wasn't called out by more Minnesotans is clear.
They're black immigrants, and critics don't want to be called racist.
As a son of African immigrants, I'll say: Some cultures are incompatible.
Immigrants who won't choose American culture shouldn't be here.

What @nickshirleyy has done here is incredible. He has simultaneously exposed a gigantic government fraud and the uselessness of corporate media.
🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.

A year ago I would have thought this to be an overstatement. With the benefit of recent information, I have come to believe that @StephenM speaks the hard truth.

In the interest of every single person seeing this. Here is a bit of what they've done to Minnesota and what they're still doing to all of us.
Who's "they?"
Well it starts with a D.
The people who to ran Walz for VP of the US.
Of all people, right?
No accident.

County Highways was the first publication that reported on the Somali fraud issue.
One of the interesting things is that this is a meta-problem with the mainstream media. It's not what's being reported. It's what's NOT being reported. And then the inevitable question arises -- what did they know that they did not report?
We need outlets like these guys.

County Highway with even fewer resources beat Rufo by a solid week and I have receipts. Our story was promoted all over Twitter. Not a secret.
The fact that this hasn't been acknowledged is saddening given all this crowing abt beating the Times

Dear Mr. Trump: you can right now distance yourself entirely from mRNA. Your WarpSpeed program in your mind was to move fast for the answer to Covid. You were correct in your assessment of HCQ and UV light and IVM, despite the trolling you received. Deep state actors used the program to test mRNA shots which had never passed regulatory approval before, which is why they seized on the PREP Act to give the manufacturers liability protection. They knew it was dangerous and did it anyway. RFK is on the right side of this and needs your backing.
Notice too that the stocks of Moderna and Pfizer are in the tank, which is what happens when you poison the population. They abused your trust too.

Simply ignore, turn off, delete, & unsubscribe from the outlets that lied to you, loudly, relentlessly, knowingly.
Instantly doable.
And the reporters, observers, & companies remaining will be the rootstock for the future.
It's a surprisingly diverse group.
Give it sun.

I'll tell you all a secret
I wrote a script, a Dr Strangelove style satire, based on the pandemic
All the villains
A couple of the heroes
A work of fiction that will tell the truth
And it's damned good
It won't be easy to get it made
But we will

The “stop Pompeo” movement is great but it’s not enough. Right now we need maximum pressure to keep all neocons and war hawks out of the Trump administration. They have had their time at the table and brought nothing but disaster to the world and this country.
America First: screw the war machine!
