Moneyball. The Oakland A’s need to turnaround a losing roster. The use a mathematical formula to revolutionize their team and, ultimately, the game.
Baseball had become about All Stars. All the scouts were looking for the magic formula that would win them games. There was a mystical air to the game. Baseball was about one thing and nobody could see anything different. There was no other way to do baseball.
But Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill (or their characters) changed the game. They thought differently. They actually broke the rules with formulas. How poetic is that?! They broke the mold with another one.
Moneyball isn’t just a great story. It’s a commentary on creativity.
So often, we think of creativity in mystical terms. Creativity is creativity. We know creativity when we see it because we think we have it in a box (albeit a mystical box).
But creativity isn’t limited to a box. Creativity is about different approaches. That’s how projects everyone thinks will fail often succeed. There is no one box for creativity. Creativity is many boxes.
So change you’re thinking about creativity today. Approach your next problem creatively. Approach it in an orthodox way. Challenge the norms and the boxes of conventional thinking.
Great post man. I’m not a fan of baseball like, at all, but I really enjoyed this movie. It’s a really great story.
True that. Baseball is super boring. 😛
