Left Out


As you compile your project team you need to be sure not to leave out any outfielders. They are an important part of the baseball team and they are also an important part of your project team. In baseball each of the outfielders has different skills that they use. We will look at all three outfielders during this one blog.
There are three outfield positions in baseball, left, center and right. What you want to do for your project team is find someone who has the important skills of all three positions.
  • Centerfielder – Needs to be quick and be able to cover a lot of range. They act as the leader in the outfield. Having good leaping abilities help to steal homeruns from opposing batters.
  • Leftfielder – Needs to be good at determining distance to avoid running into the wall when chasing foul balls.  They need to be able to handle strange caroms that get caught in the left field corner.
  • Rightfielder – Besides the same skills as the leftfielder they also need to have a good arm. Rarely are they throwing to firstbase but they have to be able to have a strong and accurate throw to third and home.

For your project team outfielder the three skills you should look for are the following:
  • Speed – Being able to work on tasks quickly to complete them in a timely fashion.
  • Play caroms – Being able to handle those twists and curveballs that might come up when working on a project.
  • Strong and accurate arm – They can also be one of your heavy lifters with the tasks. Because they work quickly on them they may be able to take on more task for the project.
There you have your ultimate project outfielder. Make sure they are not left out but instead become an integral part of your project team.
