“Jungleland” at Madison Square Garden. Bruce Springsteen tells the story; Clarence Clemons makes you feel every word without singing one.

Jimmy Cliff is gone going on a year. I hear him echoing, the way Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band echo The Big Man, his soulful sound like a far star. On April 15, 2024 in Albany, the Boss paid tribute to Jimmy with a song that says it all and always knocks me out, Trapped

October 25, 2019 — Bruce Springsteen’s Western Stars hits theaters.
Filmed in his own barn with a full orchestra, it’s a beautiful journey through the American West.
And what better way to close it than with Glen Campbell’s classic Rhinestone Cowboy?
Bruce the cowboy. 🤠🎸

Thank you Bill Buckner. @MookieWilsonNY1 would have beaten him to the bag.
40 years ago today, the Mets beat the Red Sox in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series.

Such sage advice.
Over 2,500 games from the dugout. 50+ years in baseball. 17 as an MLB manager.
I won Manager of the Year and also lost more games than I want to count.
I led teams through losing seasons and took a team to the World Series.
If I could go back to my first day as a leader, here hisper in my own ear:
Lesson 1: Be a window when it's good, a mirror when it's bad.
The leaders I respected most shared every win and absorbed every hit.
What this looks like in practice:
• Wins: name the people who made it happen
• Losses: say "that's on me" before anyone asks
• Locker room: spotlight the effort before the outcome
Your team will fight harder for a leader who deflects credit and absorbs blame.
Lesson 2: Nobody hands you trust. You earn it before you coach it.
Early in my career, plenty of coaches tried to fix my swing.
I tuned out every one I didn't trust.
Get to know your people before you try to develop them.
Their hobbies, their family, what makes them tick.
Then the coaching lands.
Lesson 3: Shower well after every loss.
After a losing streak in Colorado, our team president asked me how I kept the clubhouse together.
This was my rule:
• Self-evaluate honestly, were we prepared, did we execute?
• Shower well, wash off the grit, grime, and angst before you walk out
• Be present for whoever you're going home to
Tomorrow is a new opportunity. Don't drag yesterday into it.
Lesson 4: Lead transformationally, not transactionally.
Transactional leaders ask: what can this person do for me?
Transformational leaders ask: how do I put this person in a position to win?
The first builds compliance.
The second builds careers.
When your people start chasing growth instead of your approval, you've crossed over.
Lesson 5: Stay humble before life humbles you.
There are two kinds of people in this world: those who are humble, and those who are about to be.
Discipline keeps you in the first group:
Skill gets you in the room. Humility keeps you there.
50 years taught me leadership isn't about you.
It's about the people you serve.
