What is the personality type of Tony La Russa? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Tony La Russa from Baseball and what is the personality traits.
Tony La Russa personality type is ENTJ, which makes sense since he is a dictator and a control freak.
Bud Selig personality type is ESTP. He was a very effective commissioner and definitely made the right calls at the right time. But his personality is not suited to long term management and his ego was never going to let him voluntarily step down.
Pat Gillick personality type is ISFP. He is a very nice guy, but not a good baseball person. He was very good with the big picture, maybe not so good with the details. He was out of step with most of baseball on most issues. He was probably the worst GM in baseball over the last decade and he was not a good manager.
As I mentioned before, Rick Hahn personality type is INFP. He is an old fashioned baseball guy and he is not a good manager. He does not know how to manage people and he is not a good motivator. He is not an effective leader and he is not a good manager. He personifies the concept of “non-managerial” as described by my friend David O’Brien in his book “Non-Managerial Leadership.”
