JOE TORRE ON THE FOUNDATION OF TEAMWORK: TRUST

"You can’t ignore such personal events when they can affect a person’s performance on the field. (I make certain to have information about players’ personal difficulties when it’s relevant to the team.) When you have players with track records of hard work, grace under pressure, and key contributions to the team, you should grant them your trust – even if they’ve shown some inconsistency."

From "Ground Rules for Winners" by Joe Torre
