Billy Beane’s leadership story in Moneyball teaches us that real transformation isn’t just about numbers — it’s about aligning people to a bold new vision. Brian Nutwell and Drew Paroz explore how leaders thrive by balancing strategy and empathy.

🌟 Key Takeaways:
🔹 Vision is recontextualizing the problem to find innovative strategies.
🔹 Compassion builds trust to implement those strategies effectively.
🔹 Leading at the edges means connecting vision with ground-level reality — without micromanaging.

🧠 Memorable Quotes:
🔹 "Zero percent of the time does a revolution work seamlessly from day zero."
🔹 "Align the dreams top to bottom in the organization, or it’s not going to work."

⚡ Actionable Insights:
🔹 Don’t just create a vision — spend time aligning the people who bring it to life.
🔹 Expect failure early; stay committed but adapt with empathy.
🔹 Great leadership means being visionary and grounded — every day.
