Good leadership transcends boundaries, and it even transcends sports. I’ve said through the years — and I mean it still — that any team, in any sport, could hire Lamoriello and succeed because he isn’t just a great manager of hockey teams, he’s a great manager, period. People listen to him. They perform for him. His career is a testament of hope to all teams mired in mediocrity: You hire the right guy, you have a shot.
