Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Our major professional sports leagues are in a state of crisis and everyone talks about it, but nobody is talking about it! Brad Kullman combines his experience as a high-ranking major league baseball executive with extensive study of human behavior and performance, as he frames the conversation with this compelling investigative exposÉ that asks a critical question: What is the difference between trying to lose and not trying to win Everyone who follows major league sports knows that losing teams can benefit by losing more. We talk about it freely, as if it is an inherent and inseparable part of the major league game. Yet nobody is talking about how the encouragement of extreme losing provided by a backward system is damaging the integrity of play. Kullman presents undeniable evidence based on numerous examples in which teams from each of the 'Big Four' major leagues (NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL) purposely did not try to win regular season games. Teams employ this 'losing' strategy in hopes of improving the team's long-term fortunes by 'winning' a more advantageous position in the conceptually flawed 'reverse standings' amateur draft. While league officials, team owners, pundits, and fans collectively look the other way and pretend it is not doing harm, Kullman explores how the issue of losing (to win) is undermining the integrity of play to the point that we should all be up in arms!'Tanking' is the art of purposely losing while giving the appearance of 'trying' to win. Kullman incorporates his experience in a major league baseball front office along with his unique perspective of human understanding to examine how tanking has quietly reached epidemic levels in today's game. Most importantly, Kullman introduces an ingenious solution that can be quickly and easily implemented, which will bring integrity back to the spirit of the game and put the 'compete' back in competition.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Born the son of a poor sharecropper, Jim Perry grew up working in the tobacco fields of rural North Carolina. Not only did he work his way out of that backbreaking job, but Jim Perry worked himself all the way to becoming a big league baseball star. After a splashy debut, Jim faced repeated obstacles as he worked to become a regular member of the starting rotation. To everyone's surprise (except his own), Jim Perry finally emerged in his 11th major league season to become a 20-game winner. The next year he won the Cy Young Award, given to the best pitcher in the American League.As a longtime player representative, Jim Perry played a pivotal role in MLB's first labor battles, helping to achieve key gains that would eventually lead to a massive explosion in player salaries. Marvin Miller, executive director of the MLB Players' Association, called Perry 'a tower of strength' for his role in helping Miller lead fellow players through the first organized strike in U.S. major league professional sports history. Though he was one of the early union leaders, Jim Perry never reaped the rewards of the union victories. His MLB playing career ended in 1975, the year before formal free agency began. With no fortune to retire on, Jim was forced to begin his post-playing career in much the same way as he entered the game, working from the ground up.By hard work and determination, Jim eventually joined forces with two other men to capitalize on the deregulation of the long-distance telephone industry. He parlayed his expert people skills and baseball achievements to forge remarkable success in a second career in the business world.Jim Perry was a role model and mentor to little brother Gaylord, who would go on to a 22-year MLB hall-of-fame career of his own. The Perry brothers were the first to both win the Cy Young Award, the first to both win 20 games in the same season and the first brothers to face off against each other in the MLB All-Star Game. With 529 combined MLB victories, the pair retired as the winningest brothers in MLB history.The Jim Perry Story details the relentless dedication and remarkable resiliency of a man who 'refused to be discouraged' no matter how many obstacles were placed in his path. It is a story of great perseverance and intestinal fortitude by a man who worked his dreams true and achieved ultimate success. Twice. …

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Millions of people around the world take personality tests every year in hopes of gaining direction for education, career pursuits, dating, marriage, and more. Employers of all kinds use personality tests in some form as part of criteria for hiring, as the half-billion dollar industry continues to grow. Little do people realize that written personality questionnaires are inherently flawed. With conventional personality testing, subjects can literally be who they choose to be, causing the effects of nurture to cloud our understanding of the true inner being composed by nature. In this ground-breaking book, professional talent evaluator Brad Kullman reveals a revolutionary new method of human understanding that gets to an individual's core being. This foundation work bridges the soft science of conventional 20th century typology with 21st century revelations of the hard sciences. Kullman details how modern science provides a concrete method for quantifying human persona, behavior, and even performance in a way that is easy to comprehend for readers of all backgrounds.Each person is hardwired at conception for a propensity toward not only certain thought processes, but also a specific manner in which we perceive the world, the way we behave, and how we perform. Even if this may be understood in a general sense, Kullman presents the first methodology that not only explains the specifics, but provides a way to objectively quantify this information. Best of all, everyone can implement this methodology in order to better understand ourselves and those around us. Similar to how one might determine if a person is naturally right or left-handed, Kullman explains how specific clues can provide insight as to understanding each person's true makeup far beyond surface personality. Most importantly, this is not some theory cooked up in a lab. Kullman shares the remarkable backstory of how this breakthrough in human understanding emerged from real life experience and carefully explains how modern-day scientific advances continue to provide support for this amazing revelation.Unlike most psychology-oriented self-help books that encourage people to better themselves by changing, Kullman explains how we are each born with specific inherent and unchanging strengths and weaknesses. These traits can be clearly identified by telltale clues that unmask the façade of surface personality influenced by our environment. Only by understanding the manner in which we are each hardwired at conception can we truly appreciate and become the best us we can be.If you want to truly understand people, you must understand how they are hardwired.…
