1.1 Synopsis Moneyball is a 2011 American biographical sports drama film directed by Bennett Miller and written by Steven Zaillian and Aaron Sorkin. The film is based on Michael Lewis's 2003 nonfiction book of the same name, an account of the Oakland Athletics baseball team's 2002 season and their general manager Billy Beane's attempts to assemble a competitive team.

In the film, Beane (Brad Pitt) and assistant GM Peter Brand (Jonah Hill), faced with the franchise's limited budget for players, build a team of undervalued talent by taking a sophisticated sabermetric approach to scouting and analyzing players. Columbia Pictures bought the rights to Lewis's book in 2004, hiring Stan Chervin to write the screenplay. David Frankel was initially set to direct with Zaillian now writing the screenplay, but was soon replaced by Steven Soderbergh, who planned to make the film in a semidocumentary style featuring interviews from real athletes, and having the real players and coaches on the team portray themselves. However, prior to its July 2009 filming start, the film was put in turnaround due to creative differences between Soderbergh and Sony over a lastminute script rewrite. Soderbergh exited, and Miller was hired to direct, with Pitt becoming a producer and Sorkin being hired to provide rewrites. Filming began in July 2010, taking place at various stadiums such as Dodger Stadium and Oakland Coliseum. Moneyball premiered at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival and was released on September 23, 2011, to box office success and critical acclaim, particularly for its acting and screenplay. The film was nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actor for Pitt and Best Supporting Actor for Hill.

3.0 Messages 1. Listening Opens up New Possibilities Though oration is a more visible and talked about leadership quality, listening is also a very important leadership quality and sometimes ignored by many people. Billy Beane listened to Peter Brand, who had just started his professional career. Billy understood Peter’s point of view on baseball, misjudgment of players and mismanagement of teams. Billy found an unconventional way of looking at the game through Peter’s radical thought . People who run ball clubs, they think in terms of buying players.Your goal shouldn't be to buy players.Your goal should be to buy wins. And in order to buy wins, you need to buy runs. 2. Understand the Gap Between Perception & Reality Oakland scouts had their own perceptions about various players. But, Peter shared a new perspective with Billy that people are overlooked for a variety of biased reasons and perceived flaws such as age, appearance, personality. He showed a realistic way to identify good players’ through mathematics rather than perceptions. 3. Be Responsive to Change Scout Grady Fuson aggressively confronted Billy Beane. He was unhappy because Billy was discounting Grady’s intuition and 29 years of experience and giving value to an unconventional methodology of a college graduate. Peter.Billy mentioned ‘Adapt or Die’ and at the end of the discussion, Grady was fired as he was not ready to adapt to the new approach required in the circumstances.
