In this episode 143, we visit with Colin Cerniglia, author of “Culture of Excellence: What We Can Learn From The Yankees About Leadership.”
Andrew Rotondi, co-host of the Bronx Pinstripes Show, says of the book that “it was fascinating to read a take that wasn’t just about wins and losses. Culture of Excellence gets at one of the age-old sports questions: How does leadership and team culture affect the on-field product? The Yankees, with their eccentric leaders, compelling cast of characters, and sustained greatness, are the ideal organization for this study.”
Colin is President and CEO of Talent 409, a Charlotte leadership academy that works with athletes and athletic teams to enhance their vision and culture. In “Culture of Excellence,” he offers lessons learned from his study of one of the premier franchises in Major League Baseball about how to motivate people and improve team performance.

More Praise for the Book
“There are plenty of books about historic sports franchises and there are certainly plenty of books about culture and leadership. Culture of Excellence is the best of both! I’ve known Colin for almost three decades and he is the perfect person to write this book. Not only is he an expert in leadership and group dynamics, he knows more about the Yankees than anyone I know. As a business owner I read Pillar I in one sitting. I was captivated by learning the highs and lows of the Yankees as a sports franchise and as a business under George Steinbrenner. As a Player & Team Development Coach, I appreciate Colin’s nuanced and detailed approach to culture and player development. The world is not black and white and these concepts cannot be put into a box. This book does not attempt to do that. This book instead unpacks what has allowed one organization to have sustained success over its lifetime and shares what worked for them, what didn’t, and what we can learn from their journey.”
