INTRODUCTION
It is a story of a baseball player who goes on
to be the general manager of the Oakland Athletics. It is one of the poorest teams in baseball. Under Billy Beanes transformational leadership, they go on and defeat many of the other teams which are far richer than itself. He deviates from the general belief and applies science such as statistics objectively with the help of Paul Depodesta, a Harvard Graduate.

During his tenure as a baseball General Manager he liked the job he was in, and it was more motivational than the hygiene factors at work. Once we understand the motivating factors, 1/23/13 we find our jobs interesting as well as
LEARNINGS
It is very aptly said by Billy Beane, I did it
once for money, would never do it again. Thus the right motivation is needed for a person to succeed in his job
