We talk of ‘Born Leaders’, people who have that certain ‘X-Factor’ when it comes to decision making and leading others, but I must dispel the myth right now that these are qualities which you cannot develop within yourself over time. Even the meekest, most humble little clerk can develop themselves into a lean, mean dealing machine with hard work and self-confidence. So if you’re reading this and think that this is all over your head, ask yourself: ‘Is that really what I want?’ So you want to be a follower all your life, obeying orders at every turn? I doubt you want to look back at your life and find that there’s nothing spectacular to note.

I was a born a NY Yankee fan, so it stands to reason that my interest in America’s favorite past time – baseball – rises significantly every September. I watch games played against the Red Sox, regularly check the standings, and worry about A-Rod, Jeter and the entire pitching staff. During a recent game, my mind wandered into leadership territory, and it occurred to me that we could learn a lot about leadership through baseball, and the pitchers in particular.
