Braves Retire Chipper Jones No 10 - RealGM Wiretap
A near capacity crowd at Turner Field showered Chipper Jones with cheers and praise on Friday night as the Braves retired his No. 10 jersey.


Jones retired at the end of the 2012 season.


"It still doesn't seem real Jeison Murillo Jersey ," Jones said. "I played baseball. I haven't cured cancer or anything. It's almost embarrassing to be getting all this attention and all the accolades. It's so humbling."


Jones, the 1999 NL MVP and an eight-time All-Star, was honored before Atlanta's game against Arizona.

Steinbrenner Yankees Disappointed In A Rod - RealGM Wiretap

Hal Steinbrenner says that at times the Yankees have been "disappointed" in Alex Rodriguez.


Steinbrenner's comments come a day after Brian Cashman said Rodriguez "probably ... couldn't live up to" his $275 million contract.


Rodriguez opted out of his original 10-year, $252 million contract following his 2007 MVP season.


"That may be true. It's a big contract Ivan Perisic Jersey ," Steinbrenner said. "That's a philosophical argument, I guess. It's a big contract. We all hope he's going to act like a Yankee and do the best he can to live up to it. How about that?"


A-Rod, is out until at least the All-Star break after undergoing a second hip surgery in January and is currently under investigation by Major League Baseball for his alleged involvement with the Biogenesis "anti-aging clinic" in Miami.

锘? Any high performing team will always demonstrate an element of pure class. Theyll have the guns or the stars who have the ability to do extraordinary things - whose competence in the technical aspects of their work make them outstanding contributors to the team.

We all recognise the importance of having the right cattle in the pursuit of high performance and getting results; but a group of individuals coming together for a common goal does not automatically constitute a strong and effective team. It runs much deeper than that.

In our pursuit of seeking the right cattle we can encounter other issues that come with accessing highly driven people. Can they work together in a team? We must constantly challenge ourselves as managers and leaders to not only look for the best people but for the right people for our organisation.

For performance to be efficient and effective we must challenge individuals to come together on a more personal and deeper level than simply being joined by name or company; and get them to work together for a common purpose and a common result.

Two characteristics that differentiate high performing teams are support for one another and mutual accountability or responsibility for shared team results.

We can get so wrapped up in our own world of achievement, we can often forget about the impact that our own behaviour is having on those around us. That at times Ionut Radu Jersey , we are willing to do something that doesnt just look like by numbers.

Great teams are willing to look out for one another. To cover for a teammate until they are able to resume their role. They have players who swallow their own ego and perform a role for the team even though they think they may be too good for that role.

Great teams have players who have the ability to not only perform their role for the team, but to also help others around them to achieve their goals. To think beyond themselves, not only when they are playing well, but when they are playing below their best.

Great teams have players that ensure team rules are followed and that the style of game they want to play is encouraged and supported by everyone.

They have a group of people who accept mutual accountability for the result of the team. They share the glory or the pain irrespective of personal performance because their commitment is directly linked to team results.

This is difficult to balance Geoffrey Kondogbia Jersey , because with high achievers and high performers there will always be strong individual ambitions, goals, wants and needs.

Its about submitting your ego to the team cause - accepting a role for the good of the team, and appreciating and recognising others who do likewise.

If we have too many individuals who want to be the star then we can encounter problems in the work environment. Not enough people will want to contribute the most to the team cause or be the person who has the most influence on the team result.

Sport brings us so many analogies of what this is like. We get to go to the footy and make observations about what role someone has played for their team and how they went about it. We see the admirable qualities the team has Gary Medel Jersey , yet we also see individual players on our team that give their all alongside the ones that contribute little to the team outcome. Sometimes, because of personal brilliance, individual players get away with behaviours that simply do not reflect a team attitude.

I had the pleasure of playing along a player by the name of Shaun Hart. He was the benchmark of team attitude for me at the Brisbane Lions. Despite pressure and fatigue, his decisions always reflected what was in the best interest of the team. Under-rated in the public arena but pure gold within the inner-sanctum Fredy Guarin Jersey , he was respected enormously by his peers and was the ultimate support player. The worker-bee.

Sydney is a team filled with examples of support and responsibility. Their ability to cover for one another is typical Swans style and is admired by everyone for achievements on and off the football field. Even Barry Hall who, despite a brain fade against West Coast when he lashed out and punched an opposition player, stood up the very next day and said it wasnt good enough, it was unacceptable and that he had let his team down and the young fans for whom he is a role model. Thats leadership. It doesnt matter who it is per.
