understanding of the other side s issues. you don t have to be friends, but you just have to get rid of the basic, internal animal aggressiveness to try to come to a reasonableness. now, i talked about real interpersonal relationships. you talked about specific working partnerships. but if you see don zimmer sitting next to joe torre in the dugout, would either have won a world series without the other? and they learned how to respect each other. zimmer didn t want torre s job. torre didn t think he did, so he listened to his advice. then when steinbrenner drove them both crazy, they were together against daddy. it s kind of like strong siblings against irrational parents. like me and my staff against the man at nbc.
