In episode 430, Bradley Hartmann shares leadership insights from one of his favorite movies, Moneyball, starring Brad Pitt as the Oakland A’s general manager, Billy Beane. Joining Hartmann are Matt Potter (construction sales veteran) and Joel Stevens (HR expert), returning to the show after their excellent performances in episode 393 where we focused on the leadership aspects from the movie, Up in the Air (starring George Clooney and Anna Kendrick).
Hartmann, Potter, and Stevens explore Billy Beane's approach to challenging the status quo, getting his team to think differently about how to evaluate and build a winning roster. They discuss Beane's confrontational style with his scouts, his willingness to take risks by converting a career catcher named Scott Hatteberg to first base, and his ability to get buy-in from veteran players like David Justice.
Off the field, the trio examines the interpersonal dynamics and cultural shifts Beane had to navigate within the organization. They highlight his successes and missteps in communicating his vision and bringing the entire team along.
The conversation also touches on broader themes of competitive differentiation, developing confidence in employees, and the importance of diverse perspectives—lessons that translate well beyond the baseball diamond. Whether you're a Moneyball superfan or discovering it for the first time, this episode offers valuable insights for leaders in any industry.
