Even back when I was doing it, reading texts on management theory was never my favorite thing. Apart from a few well-written tomes, there were very few that said much at all, let alone encasing some profound insight.

Of course, none of them said anything at all about baseball that I can now remember. Maybe I'd have liked them more if they had ... or learned more, certainly.

Jeff Angus does a great job over at Management By Baseball, one that just falls short of an "everyday read" for me, but Business 2.0 (another thing I used to read ...) put together an interesting piece on the subject with him. Enjoy.
