Derrick Hall has spent 35 years in baseball, more than two decades of it running the Arizona Diamondbacks. He’s managed to produce incredible results in one of the most competitive industries on earth — and the most important ones aren’t on the field:

Multiple Top Workplaces awards under his tenure
→ $100 million in community giving since 1998
→ Roughly 70% of the front office staying 10 to 15 years
→ United Nations “Most Positive Team In The World” award
→ A 2023 National League Pennant

So when he says something that breaks what some would view as a basic rule of business, it's worth slowing down to take a listen.
