Book excerpt: What happens when three financial industry whiz kids and certified baseball nuts take over an ailing major league franchise and implement the same strategies that fueled their success on Wall Street? In the case of the 2008 Tampa Bay Rays, an American League championship happens—the culmination of one of the greatest turnarounds in baseball history. In The Extra 2%, financial journalist and sportswriter Jonah Keri chronicles the remarkable story of one team’s Cinderella journey from divisional doormat to World Series contender. When former Goldman Sachs colleagues Stuart Sternberg and Matthew Silverman assumed control of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in 2005, it looked as if they were buying the baseball equivalent of a penny stock. But the incoming regime came armed with a master plan: to leverage their skill at trading, valuation, and management to build a model twenty-first-century franchise that could compete with their bigger, stronger, richer rivals—and prevail. Together with “boy genius” general manager Andrew Friedman, the new Rays owners jettisoned the old ways of doing things, substituting their own innovative ideas about employee development, marketing and public relations, and personnel management. They exorcized the “devil” from the team’s nickname, developed metrics that let them take advantage of undervalued aspects of the game, like defense, and hired a forward-thinking field manager as dedicated to unconventional strategy as they were. By quantifying the game’s intangibles—that extra 2% that separates a winning organization from a losing one—they were able to deliver to Tampa Bay something that Billy Beane’s “Moneyball” had never brought to Oakland: an American League pennant. A book about what happens when you apply your business skills to your life’s passion, The Extra 2% is an informative and entertaining case study for any organization that wants to go from worst to first.

Download or read book The Seven Rays Keys to the Mysteries written by Dr. Douglas M. Baker and published by Baker eBooks Publishing. This book was released on 2014-04-06 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Seven Rays - Keys to the Mysteries: The Seven Rays form one of the keys to the mysteries to be employed in this, the Age of Aquarius, which is now upon us. This key is one of psychology; it takes into account not only the factors of genetics and personality, but also the factor of the Soul. Dr. Baker has drawn on the wisdom and expertise of H. P. Blavatsky and Alice Bailey to fashion this effective key to unlock the subjective qualities of the personality. The Seven Rays embrace the whole of our known universe; they are the builders of form. That form in humanity applies not only to your physical body structures, but also to your emotional and mental natures. The psychology of the Seven Rays is thus an ideal mechanism for esoteric students in counselling their subjects in what we now term the Ray Analysis.
