Mike Scioscia

Mike Scioscia, manager of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, has been known as one of the best baseball managers over the past couple of years. I have decided to take a look at how he has earned this regard as being such a great leader of the Angels. Baseball is an extremely difficult sport to manage because it has many individual aspects while still being a team sport. Baseball is also such a slow pace sport that a lot of thinking is involved which means that players have to be mentally strong. One of the things that make Scioscia so great is that he builds a trust up between his players. This trust evolves from the team being very close with each other. Scioscia has led the Angels to have this bond by creating a fun and energetic environment among the players while still holding them to their responsibilities. From Scioscia we can learn that it is very important to build a bond between employees and make sure that they are enjoying themselves while still getting work done. When people are having fun with their jobs then they are willing to work harder and accomplish their goals. These things are what have made Mike Scioscia such a great manager and why the Angels have been so successful under his tenure. If we can find a way to do these things that Scioscia has been able to do we will be able to be very effective leaders.
