If you look at the most successful franchises and head coaches in sports today, they have one common characteristic: stability. And in our job-hopping society, nobody embodies stability like Tommy Lasorda, legendary manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Lasorda has been retired since 1996, but his aura can still be felt throughout Dodger stadium. He has the longest tenure of anyone in his organization, won the National League Manager of the Year Award twice, and is a two-time World Series champion. Recently, I sat down with him to discuss the release of his new book Tommy Lasorda: My Way to talk about his loyalty to his organization and how that helped him build the culture of his championship teams.
As a Hall of Fame keynote speaker, longtime Associate Editor for Sports Illustrated, and 13-time New York Times Best-Selling author, Don Yaeger is one of America’s most provocative thought leaders. From walking into Afghanistan with the Mujahadeen to living with football legend Walter Payton, Don has spent three decades embedded with the world’s greatest "Greats." Now a sought-after executive coach and host of the Corporate Competitor Podcast, he translates the lessons of sports and business legends into actionable strategies for building a culture of greatness.
