Hi, this is Jeff Altman, a big game hunter, welcome to get BS recruitment advice on blogtalkradio.com. You know, when I grew up, the borough I grew up in New York was called the Bronx. As someone who grew up in the Bronx on 167th Street in Grand Hall, I was only a few blocks from Old Yankee Stadium. I played Little League baseball at the current new Yankee Stadium.
So, I have a special affinity for Yankees. I remember playing minor league ball in that field, I remember Mickey Mantle coming back from injury, you would be excited to hear the crowd sometime during our game, but you were so late that you knew the game was in the game later. We all smiled at ourselves and said, OK, I think Mick is a batsman.
He has. Now, let’s go through the Steinbrenner era quickly, or actually enter the Steinbrenner era. And, through the Yankee Minor League system, we already have a range of baseball players.
I call them the core four plus core. And, we will look at how the Yankees deal with these baseball players to take them into their team. And I think there are some lessons to learn from what the Yankees do. . . I will start with the fourth core.
Andy Pettit, Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter Plus Bernie Williams keeps them on the team and keeps their value at least. So before the details of the show I just want to say that this episode was brought to you by two sponsors. The first is ConsultingAssignments.com, which is a website where you can find and fill consulting tasks, full-time consulting positions, temporary temporary and contracts to hire opportunities anywhere in the world completely free.
So, the last time I left your place, I was talking about core four Gabeney Williams. And I think there are some great lessons to keep the staff from their stories.
Let me start with Williams, a minor league player in the Yankees who had a midfielder named Roberto Kelly for the team. Now, Kelly is their excellent player in his early career. He performed well on defense.
Yankees saw something in Williams. They think he might be that kind of batsman, too. But they also see him as a better defensive player.
So what the Yankees do is kelly trade. . . As part of the deal, they got Paul O’Neill, who became a staple in the right field and elevated Bernie Williams to the center. Now, the lesson here is the importance of making room for talent in the organization. Now, I’m a baby boomer.
I am in my 60s now. But I watched many of this generation block the path of people about to rise. They did not train or instruct them.
Later in the Yankee Story, we’ll cover it. So what the Yankees do is make room for young players. They are doing a job and are doing well, but have no guidance.
Young people have no room to enter the labor force. Yankees create space. They get some benefits from making trades, but they make room for younger players.
Who caught your attention?
Where can you make room? At the same time, you can transfer someone to another part of the organization you might like, but they aren’t really essential? Do you know what I mean? The roles they have done in the last 10, 15, 5 years are excellent. But you know what happens when you repeat the same thing? You will be outdated. So the Yankees made room for Williams, and they judged that he was a better player in the ball by getting rid of someone.
Here is another wonderful example of our recent retiree, Derek Jeter. Now, back in 1996, Joe Torre was a Yankee manager for the first time and has not been considered a manager yet. After all, he has been fired from his previous job and his team is not particularly good.
They had a mediocre shortstop in the game and they decided to give Jeter a chance. Now, the coach looks at Jet and they say he is a sufficient defensive player at best. We don’t know if he will get better.
He is a single batsman. He won’t play a lot of home runs. It’s definitely right, like he’s become enough defensive player.
So Jeter was fired. He was fired. He was fired.
He was fired. He was fired. He was fired.
He was fired. He was fired. He was fired.
He was fired. He was fired. He was fired.
He was fired. He was fired. He was fired.
He was fired. He was fired. He was fired.
He was fired. He was fired. He was fired.
He was fired. He was fired. He was fired.
He was fired. He was fired. He was fired.
He was fired. He was fired. He was fired.
He was fired. He was fired. He was fired.
There are careers in this generation. Let’s give him a chance. In the worst case, we can always go back and have another player play later.
But let’s give him a chance. For me, he might start from the same location, but he has a good thing for him. Now, let’s move forward quickly, a few years later, five World Series champions have not won the competition in 2001.
Jeter is clearly the backbone of the Yankees and grew up to be the team captain because of the values he represents through his actions. He is a baseball player and you’ve never heard of a scandal so common. Never, it was his problem.
The difference here is that management brings bats to someone. That’s the young players, they say, we can always adjust later. But let’s give him a chance.
obstacle. will. adversity. Elasticity. determination
How many opportunities do you have? Similarly, Derek Jeter’s story is part of the idea of making room for young people, his fire and his determination are in the important game. religion. Is he a perfect player? No, he is really a good player.
Mariano Rivera, who has always saved Major League Baseball leaders. So is Jeter. They were never the highest paid players.
However, through the treatment obtained by management, they promote loyalty or management promotes loyalty among these participants. So when Alex Rodriguez signed a $25 million deal with Texas, Jeter went to management and said, it’s simple, I want to get fair rewards. I don’t want the most money.
I want fair rewards. It’s time to increase my salary. How many of you usually do this for people who don’t have guns to bring your salary and raise their salary to market speed? Not likely.
In terms of Rivera’s case, it was the best close in the history of the game and never paid the most for his position. He is always treated by boundaries. But he likes to be a Yankee.
So the Yankees treated him in a special way to make him compensated. Well, he’ll be back like this year’s spring training, like I’m sure Jet Will and Pettit and everyone else. But when everything is said and done, the two beloved numbers in the organization perform well, not the highest, but are fairly compensated.
How many of you are? How many of you force your employees out to change jobs and then suddenly rush back, will we give you a counter? Yes, don’t do it. Don’t do it. Why don’t you take the initiative? Because you have a policy? The policy is wrong.
Change policy. Do things differently. Suddenly, you have loyal employees.
Posada. Posada was a minor league player when he came to the Yankees. The first-level receiver is the one who ends up being team manager Joe Girardi.
Joe served as Posada’s coaching mentor for the first time in his first season with the Yankees and helped Posada get slightly enough from a cruel defensive player to a team and always be a good batsman for his position. How many of you have coaches and mentors for your young talents to teach them the rules of the road, guide them and help them succeed, integrating them into your organization? Do you have new employees? Do you have a mentor who guides them to dog with them? Or are they just figuring it out for themselves? Now you can do it as usual. But voila, when you bring a young person and guide them, a lot of the benefits come from it when you bring old people employees and guide them into the way the organization works.
This is the last example I give you, Andy Pettit. Pettit, Yankee has been all over, but there is a stage in his life he says, and I want to go home with the kids. So he left Houston with another Yankee pitcher, Roger Clemens.
They both went to Houston. They have great careers there. But one thing is that Petit’s children have grown up.
He decided to keep pitching. He wants to pitch for the Yankees. Now, it’s the idea of giving people a good reason to leave and keep them open to get them back.

Many companies I know don’t do this. They said you could come back. But once you go out, they will do it with you.
They don’t want anything to do with you. This is not the case with Yankees. People with character and suspicious personality.
I put Clemens in this category because despite his acquittal, there are a lot of comments that he is a steroid user on the team. But the Yankees let two of them consider returning. They did not burn the bridge.
They always maintain a cordial relationship. Fans might go crazy when they leave, but the Yankees respect the decision and don’t necessarily like it, but respect it and maintain the relationship that makes them back. If you don’t burn the bridge, you can get great talent.
So these are a few of my thoughts about Yankees and how they can do it. . . Some of their behaviors can affect personnel retention. I just want to simply say that I have been in search professionals for over 40 years. I would love to help confirm the employee position.
I hold positions in 50 states and 49 states in the Canadian region. If you want my help, please contact me at Jeffaltman at thebiggamehunter.us. That’s Jeff. You know, like the name on my side.
