Leadership Failure by Example

Red Sox management is now re-learning an old baseball lesson. When you give up on a team during the season, its response is always and inevitably to give up on itself, too.

Blowing up a team by trading or otherwise disposing of important veterans is a time-honored and more than occasionally necessary management stratagem.  Collateral damage, however, is best avoided by staging the explosion in the winter.
