Bums No More!: The Championship Season of the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers

Customer Reviews:

A classic in the history of baseball.......2005-02-03

In 2004, the Boston Red Sox finally broke their long standing curse and won the World Series. In 1955, a similar event occurred. The Brooklyn Dodgers, who had won many more pennants than the Red Sox, finally defeated their longtime nemesis, the New York Yankees, in the World Series. It was a time of enormous rejoicing in Brooklyn, but in many ways it was the last hurrah. Changing demographic patterns had led to a consistent decline in attendance at Ebbets field, and in a few years, they were the Los Angeles Dodgers. Furthermore, Ebbets field had been leveled, so both aspects of the team in Brooklyn were nothing but memories.
This book is an account of that wonderful season, where all of the memories of previous defeats were erased. It starts with a recapitulation of the failures, the greatest of which was the collapse in 1951, where the Dodgers led the Giants by 13 ½ games in the early part of August. They ended the season in a tie and in the third playoff game, Bobby Thompson hit a home run to send the Dodgers home for the winter.
It is also an account of how the Brooklyn people felt about the Dodgers. When I watched the fine Ken Burns video on baseball, some of the interviews were with people who grew up in Brooklyn and worshipped the Dodgers. This book captures the passion that those people felt for their team, and how in many ways, it was also America's team. When Jackie Robinson became the first black to play in the major leagues, it was for the Dodgers. For years after the color barrier was broken, the Dodgers continued to lead in having black players, so blacks all over the country considered the Dodgers to be their team.
There are some events in baseball that will stand forever, and the Red Sox victory in 2004 will be one of them. However, given the number of times they had played in the World Series and lost, the Dodger victory in 1955 probably surpasses the Red Sox in terms of breaking the pattern of failure. This is especially true when you factor in the fact that it was truly a climax, as shortly after, the Brooklyn Dodgers and their stadium were no more. But, it was truly a joy ride while it lasted, and this book is a wonderful description of an extraordinary season. It is a classic in the history of baseball.

Book Description

For organizations that care about innovation, individual creativity isn't enough anymore -- people need to be in creative, collaborative relationships. But without the knowledge and tools for building these relationships, innovation expert Michael Schrage argues, one will not be successful in the offices of today and even less so in the "virtual" offices of tomorrow. No More Teams gives readers the tools and techniques to go beyond the lazy cliches of "teamwork" to the practical benefits of collaboration. When Schrage studied the world's greatest collaborations -- including Wozniak and Jobs, Picasso and Braque, Watson and Crick -- he found that instead of relying on charisma, they all created "shared spaces" where they could play with their ideas. By effectively using technological tools available in most workplaces -- anything from a felt tip pen and a napkin to specialized computer software - -you can literally map your discussion as it is happening, making it possible to keep all the good ideas, cope with every objection, handle conflicts as they arise, and, ultimately, master the unknown.

Schrage writes like he never worked in a company before........1999-07-24

I started out this book being frustrated by the assumptions Schrage makes. For example, at the beginning of the book he talks about collaboration and seems to be making the assumption that people who work in teams DO NOT collaborate.

Maybe my experience working in a software company is different from what people experience in other industries, but it seemed to me as if Schrage had a bizarre view of how people interact within a corporation.

Schrage's central message seems to be that tools help people collaborate--not exactly an insight. Finally, he discusses collaborative processes like brainstorming sessions and quality circles. These are not new things.

Overall, I felt the book had very little to offer.

Some good thoughts, but left me wanting more.......1998-03-26

I got this book with the hopes that it would give me some good, concrete ideas to use with co-workers and supervisors to improve how we handled projects in the workplace. What I believe I got was chapter after chapter telling me how much productivity will change once people begin to truly collaborate with each other (rather than simply partitioning the work), and how some companies are creating tools to aid this. I felt like I had not been given muchin the way of new techniqiues that I had not already heard from the Total Quality Management movement. There are some nice ideas though. The chapter on language presented some good thoughts, and the description of the qualities of collaborative relationships is good. Overall, the book reminded me of some asian cuisine. It tasted all right, but I was hungry again after a few hours.

A well-written, thought-provoking book........1997-10-19

Each one of us is born into the world with different talents and skills. Most of us spend a lifetime trying to hone and develop these native born talents to maximize both our own potential and our contribution to the greater social good.

But rarely can anybody these days maximize his or her talents working cloistered and alone. In this world of increasing specialization and complexity, rare indeed is the individual who achieves great success working independently on his or her own.

Long ignored and overlooked, the wonders of collaborative creativity are just beginning to be understood and appreciated. In an important and revealing new book, Shared Minds: The New Technologies of Collaboration, syndicated columnist Michael Schrage examines both the nature of the collaborative process and methods of "fanning the collaborative flame." With frequent reference to legendary creative collaborative teams of the past (Orville and Wilbur Wright, Watson and Crick, Jobs and Wozniak, Lennon and McArtney), Schrage articulates truths that well deserve to be lifted to the forefront of our consciousness.

How This Book Came to be Written

Initially Shared Minds was to be a book about business meetings, and how new technologies can help streamline business meetings. But the author soon realized that the most interesting group work doesn't occur in large business meetings, but in small, energetic teams. So instead of writing a book about business meetings, he decided to closely examine the nature of creative "small group" collaborations. After interviewing many famous scientific and artistic "collaborative teams," Schrage spent a year as a visiting scholar at MIT's Media Lab synthesizing the ideas in this book.

The Personal Attributes of Successful Collaborative Teams

One of the probing questions examined in this book is: "What personal attributes contribute to successful collaborative joint ventures?" How is it that the family team of Orville and Wilbur Wright worked so well together, when other sibling pairs find it a struggle to order pizza together? And what role did Orville and Wilbur's parents play in fostering their creativity and perseverance. (Apparently Orville and Wilbur's mother played a decisive role in showing her sons the methodology of creative invention.)

Along the same lines of thought, what personal qualities allowed Watson and Crick to work together to formulate their landmark three-dimensional model of DNA? True, they had differing and complementary scientific backgrounds. But more than that, they both had a hunger to understand the physical structure of DNA. That intellectual hunger united them in a focused scientific quest.

Speaking on the subject of collaboration, Crick, in his memoirs, sheds light on the nature of his successful teaming with Watson: "Our...advantage was that we had evolved an unstated but fruitful methods of collaboration....If either of us suggested a new idea, the other, while taking it seriously, would attempt to demolish it in a candid but nonhostile manner." Good collaborative teams, therefore, have a tacit understanding that individual ego must necessarily be subsumed to the larger team goal.

Examples of How a "Sharing Ideology" Can Develop

Another subject examined in the book is the similar "sharing ideology" used by great artists and great scientists. There comes a time when human beings rise above the possessive attitude of "that's an idea I thought of first" to the grander attitude of "that's an idea I had a part in creating."

One moving anecdote about collaborative artists occurred when Picasso and his close associates stopped signing their paintings for a brief period in their lives. These artists worked so closely together in producing new art that they genuinely believed that signing any of their paintings would be a misrepresentation of "authorship." In this case, keeping track of who produced which paintings became subservient to the group goal of producing excellent group paintings.

Thoughts About "Idea Development"

At another point in the book Schrage examines the concept of "idea development." How is it that ideas get developed from nascent whims to full-fledged notions? Quoting a modern expert on the subject, John Cleese (the gifted comic writer of Monty Python fame): "The really good idea is always traceable back quite a long way, often to a not very good idea which sparked off another idea that was only slightly better, which somebody else misunderstood in such a way that they then said something which was really rather interesting.... [That's] actually why I have always worked with a writing partner, because I'm convinced that I get to better ideas than I'd ever do on my own."

One perceptive observation in Shared Minds is that some of the best collaborative work occurs in informal, playful settings. The proverbial doodle, hastily sketched on a cafeteria napkin, serves as a forceful reminder of how creativity can best be unleashed in informal settings. Likewise, brainstorming sessions in a formal conference room seldom yield memorable creative results.

All in all, Shared Minds is an important, thought-provoking book. If you've ever spent time thinking about the wonders of collaborative creativity, you ought to find a rich vein of ideas to mine in this book. The very act of reading the book ought to stimulate those areas of the brain responsible for the "open-minded" reception of new and interesting ideas.

Learning the Hard Way.......2005-12-04

Most leaders have at least one book that has had a significant impact on their lives. For Dave Chow, an avid reader and lifelong learner, there have been many such books: 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by John Maxwell; Visioneering by Andy Stanley; Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire by Jim Cymbala; Purpose-Driven Youth Ministry by Doug Fields; The Youth Builder by Jim Burns...the list could go on for days. But occasionally, a leader gets an opportunity to write a book of his own that summarizes some of the many ways those books-combined with God's school of "hard knocks"-have changed his life and ministry. Such is the case with No More Lone Rangers.

"After switching from college ministry to youth ministry," says Dave, "I realized that very few ministries understood teams. Most youth pastors had a real 'Lone Ranger' approach. Unfortunately, the longer I do this, the more youth workers I talk to, the more I realize that team ministry really is a tough concept, especially for smaller churches. Large churches sort of have to be team oriented: One leader simply cannot take care of 200 kids. But it's easier to get away with Lone Ranger mentality if you only have 30 kids. I hope my book will minister to the small church leaders the most. I want them to realize that they don't have to do this alone."

The book itself is well organized, easy to read and thoroughly pragmatic. You won't get a bunch of academic theory here, just solid, proven principles for building a team-centered youth ministry. The book opens with a series of questions:

"Are you getting tired? Do you feel like giving up? Are there more needs in your ministry than you're personally able to meet? You're not alone."

Dave begins by casting a strong vision for team-centered youth ministry. Even though most people reading the book will already be hungry to at least learn more about team ministry, the overall message is full of excellent points that will compel you to keep reading...

* "This team-centered approach to ministry can take place with a team of two or a team of two hundred."
* "When teams are functioning at their best, ministry multiplies far beyond what each team member could do on his or her own."
* "The long-term effectiveness of youth ministry depends on the ability of the youth worker to develop a team."

But possibly the most compelling reason to keep reading comes from one of the many places in the book where Dave shares a personal insight, this time concerning the long-term benefits of team ministry:

"I've seen it time and time again: A youth worker builds a ministry around himself or herself, only to see it completely crumble after he or she leaves. Believe it or not, I've even met youth workers who felt this was a sign of good leadership!"

That one statement should be enough to make us all lunge for the altars. Fortunately, Dave does more than cast a vision and leave us guessing for ways to resolve the crisis. In the next nine chapters, Dave helps the reader identify common obstacles and recruit, care for and train a strong team of volunteers.

One of the main obstacles that Dave identifies is the need for control that most Lone Rangers seem to have. As a naturally hard-driving and controlling leader, Dave addresses this issue from personal experience and biblical insight.

"Often this insecurity stems from a fear that if we give others power and influence, they'll hurt us and the ministry. Yet, even though Jesus knew that Judas would betray him, he took the risk of granting him control and influence along with the other disciples...Releasing control may result in some failures, but the greater failure is not trusting God to let Him teach others through their own efforts and mistakes."

Personally, my favorite chapter in the book is chapter 8: Training Your Team. This chapter is packed with both principles and praxis, giving the reader a huge variety of launching points for developing an effective training model in which team members can participate and grow. Here Dave covers major principles of training such as how to "Balance Skill Training With Personal Spiritual Development" and a section on understanding the "Stages of Training." Also included are several pages of sample training topics and a solid overview of the training process. The chapter ends with plenty of firestarter ideas for additional training tools that any leader can implement with a little creativity and effort.

Overall, No More Lone Rangers is a well-researched, well-practiced book that can help any church ministry gain the vision and skills necessary to develop a team-centered approach to ministry. And as an added bonus, each chapter ends with two different "helps" tools: A "Now What?" section that helps the reader evaluate his or her own ministry and apply the principles learned; and a list of "Team-Builder Questions" that the leader can use with his volunteers.

But possibly more important than all of the content in the book is the testimony behind the content. Dave Chow has and is striving to model the things he writes about.

"I wasn't naturally built to lead teams," says Dave, "but I had to learn. It's much more natural for me to run the show. And I'm still a very intense guy. But God is helping me to be more relational, more gentle, more team-oriented."

Six months after leaving a church in Chino that told Dave "We're sorry, but youth ministry just isn't our priority right now," that same church realized what an impact the youth ministry had made and changed their priorities. They went ahead and hired a full-time youth pastor. And several years after leaving a church in Riverside, one of the associate pastors saw Dave and commented that the team he had left in place was still there, even though the church had gone through several youth pastors. Finally, before joining the staff at Crystal Cathedral, Dave trained a staff of volunteers and interns in Yorba Linda, two of whom were eventually hired on staff as youth pastors...and are still there to this day.

Now that's the kind of legacy we should all be leaving behind. No More Lone Rangers can help make that happen for you.

Not quite the book I was hoping for.......2004-01-14

Chow's book did a very good job at setting up and organizing his ideas and thoughs on a team-centered youth ministry. I gained some insight on how to create a team, but it wasn't the weath of information I have received in other books. It was a little repetitive at times, and I felt that some of his points were over stated. I think it is a good book to read, but maybe not the book for someone who knows nothing and is just starting to build their own youth leadership program. It was an easy and enjoyable read, but not what I was expecting.

A step-by step way to build a team!.......2003-04-24

"No More Lone Rangers" blends practical ideas for establishing a ministry team with the theoretical and theological mandates for doing so. Chapter 4, "Inspiring Your Team" is an invaluable asset for all those who work with youth. It challenges us to have a specific "vision" for our ministry in our neighborhood! David gives clear, powerful and useful steps towards discovering your ministry's unique vision. This book should be on every youth worker's bookshelf, or better yet, read by the entire staff!

Chill.......2003-03-19

Dave Chow has hit a homerun. This book is not only filled with practical information that can help to empower and restructure a youth leadership team, it also inspires and informs us how to build strong teams that can impact kids. Every Youth Leader needs this book in their hands.

Companies that value human capital have a competive edge.......1999-03-30

SUCCESS SECRETS FROM SILICON VALLEY is a thoroughly enjoyable book that takes a look at why Silicon Valley companies are so successful.

James' point-of-view is that these companies are able to win because they value their human capital and create jobs that provide scope for human ambition and expression for human creativity. They manage by lending support, not by imposing control, and they treat employees as peers, not children. Instead of asking "How can we get everyone to march in step?" they ask, "Do we have sufficient diversity to approach this market?"

The book could serve as a mandate for change management. It recounts numerous examples of companies given a run for their money by small start-ups. For instance, take IBM. In 1984, IBM completely dominated the computer industry. It had fanatically loyal customers, great management, and an enviable image. It had an enormous was chest with which to capture any market. And, it had just invented the personal computer. So how did an 18 year old freshman, a kid probably wondering what to do on Saturday night, in just thirteen years, grow a company to 8,000 people and end up selling more personal computers than the inventor? Michael Dell had no revenues, no customers, no capital, no experience, no image and no product to call his own. How he won is the story of how management vision and corporate culture has to change to stay competitive in the 21st century.

It does not matter that the examples come from Silicon Valley; the book could serve as an abridged change management manual for any company desiring to replicate the success culture of these upstarts. Size isn't the issue. Culture is. If, at times, James's points seem self-evident and appear to be the exaltation of common sense, then tell me, where is Digital Equipment Corporation today? Anybody ever hear of Wang? According to James, a company doesn't have to be small to organize into teams and autonomous workgroups. He makes the point that the PC was created within a huge corporation - but as far away from headquarters as possible. Unfortunately, after Don Estridge, the "father" of the IBM PC, was killed in a plane crash, IBM's bureaucrats descended on the PC division "like a plague of blue-suited locusts". They tried to implement strategies that had made sense in the past but were hopelessly outdated in the world where "quick to market" is key.

"Success Secrets" devotes a chapter to each of eight main change points: Business is an ecosystem, not a battlefield; Corporations are communities, not machines; Management is service, not control; Employees are peers, not children; Motivate with vision, not fear; Change is growth, not pain; Computers are servants, not masters; Work is play, not toil.

Each chapter is organized in an easy to follow format : Silicon Valley mindset; traditional mindset; a case study; strategies; quiz (to determine "gaps" in an organization) and points to ponder which serve as good change management points to consider when we are with clients.

The book is entertaining in presenting computer history mingled with the "new" corporate thinking - thinking that began in 1939 (yes, that long ago) with Hewlett Packard and came to fruition with Microsoft, Dell, Compaq and Sun.

Why Silicon Valley companies are different!.......1998-06-17

This book captures the essential elements of the overall organizational strategy developed and applied in Silicon Valley over the past decades. The author captures and illustrates many of the sub-strategies that were originally used by many of the founders of Silicon Valley, such as David Packard (see: "The HP Way"). One of the primary benefits of the present book is the classification of these strategies in an easy-to-understand, numeric order, accompanied by excellent examples and quotes from people using these strategies. In addition, the inclusion of "quizes" and "points to ponder" at the end of each chapter help the reader to ascertain where their present organization is in relationship to the Silicon Valley high-growth company model. While the average Silicon Valley company is living the ecosystem described, the greatest value of the book may be its use as a teaching tool for the extension of a Valley company's culture to team members in non-Valley locations or subsidiaries, or as a teaching mechanism for other companies desiring to replicate the results achieved by Valley companies.
