"Moneyball" was a book and movie based on Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane and his use of statistics (sabermetrics, to be precise) to get the most production out of his team by spending the least amount of money.
Here's some statistics on leadership development based on what I'd consider highly credible research. Use it to outfox your competition or to sound like a smarty-pants at your next networking event.
* "Only 7% of high-potential employees are not currently high performers. Performance is a prerequisite for potential."
* Only 29% of high performers are also high-potential employees. While having what it takes to achieve top performance today, the remaining 71% of high performers are missing something needed to excel at the next level of the organization.

* Successful executives learn their most important leadership lessons though:
* 70%: Challenging assignments (job changes and stretch assignments)
* 20%: Other people (bosses, coaches, mentors, etc...)
* 10%: Formal courses and books

* Hewitt's 2005 study showed 100% of the top 20 companies for leadership development had CEOs who were actively involved in developing leadership talent, compared with 65% of other companies (outside the top 20).
* An executive development survey found that 43% of CEOs and 71% of senior executives reported that they had worked with a coach. "Most telling, 92% of leaders being coached say they plan to use a coach again. Source: Fast Company"

* DDI's Global Leadership Forecast 2011 notes that barely more than 1 in 3 organizations report that leaders have high-quality, effective development plans, despite the fact that having effective plans is related to the quality of leadership development.
* Of respondents who were included in BusinessWeek.com's 2009 Best Companies for Leaders list, 94% said their organization is active in developing successors for "mission-critical roles," compared with about two-thirds of respondents from other organizations."
