WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.
Totally Tigers
Today, another opportunity for readers to discuss the hottest topics in a forum where thoughtful dialog and a variety of opinions are welcomed.
Let?s create some running conversational threads. And for those of you still going into offices, here?s a question to take with you ? or use via Zoom ? as you talk to your co-workers.
Here is today?s topic:
The Detroit Tigers are starting their search for a new GM. Owner Chris Ilitch indicated that the team made no progress at the MLB level this year, suggesting that the team needs someone who is experienced in the rebuilding process.
However, over the weekend, national stories came out that suggested the Tigers lack an organizational cohesiveness and process in which to effectively solve problems and improve the team. This was exemplified by the story of Robbie Grossman improving almost immediately by moving to another team.
An organization that easily fixed his issues that the Tigers had been unable to solve. Several experts in baseball have suggested that the departments within the Tigers Front Office don?t communicate or work together effectively.
If you were included in the GM search, which one of these 2 job qualifications is the most important one? Would you prioritize the need for rebuilding experience or do you believe that solving the work and communications problems within the organization is the most important?
Which one would you choose?
Which skill is the priority in choosing a new GM?
1. Experience in rebuilding.
2. Enhance flow of information and work between all departments.
