In the minds of great managers, consistent poor performance is not primarily a matter of weakness, stupidity, disobedience, or disrespect. It is a matter of miscasting.
Marcus Buckingham
Image
It's bizarre that the produce manager is more important to my children's health than the pediatrician.
Meryl Streep
Image
It seems to me as I reviewed the literature that, with few exceptions, the more confident were the prescriptions about how to behave with ethics and integrity, the further removed was the author from the life and work of the everyday manager.
Steve Kerr
Image
Some news managers have been slow to grasp that good television news is always substance over form.

A baseball manager is a necessary evil.
Sparky Anderson
Image
Managers are not confronted with problems that are independent of each other, but with dynamic situations that consist of complex systems of changing problems that interact with each other. I call such situations messes. Problems are extracted from messes by analysis. Managers do not solve problems, they manage messes.
Russell L. Ackoff

The manager accepts the status quo the leader challenges it.
Warren G. Bennis

My father, a mining engineer and colliery manager, gave his brood many advantages not least of which, for me, was his love of singing which gave music a central place in our lives.

JPMorgan Chase are among the most successful global investment banks, most successful global asset managers, and, in the United States, one of the most successful retail and commercial bankers. We do a great job for customers.
Jamie Dimon
Image
As a result of overdiversification, their (active managers) returns get watered down. Diversification covers up ignorance. Active managers haven't done enough research into any of their companies. If managers have 200 positions, do you think they know what's going on at any one of those companies at this moment?
Bill Ackman
Image
Managers can waste a lot of time at the outset of a crisis denying that something went wrong. Skip that step.
Jack Welch
Image
I never answer if someone knocks on my door and only the band and my manager have my phone number. In any case my phone doesn't ring so I never notice it. I occasionally just walk past and pick it up to see if anyone's there.
Robert Smith
Image
Managers tend to pick a strategy that is the least likely to fail, rather then to pick a strategy that is most efficient, Said Palmer. The pain of looking bad is worse than the gain of making the best move.
Michael Lewis
Image
Three things a leader or manager should be thinking: What's happening? What's not happening? and What can I do to influence the outcome?
John Baldoni
Image
I never went round to loads of managers saying 'this is what I have, this is my product and I'm going to be famous so you'd better sign me up.' They came to me.
Amy Winehouse
Image
I do appreciate that the most important thing as manager is to get good results.
Stuart Pearce

What differentiates us from other money managers with a similar style is that we’re comfortable with new lows.
Peter Cundill

I was lying in bed on a Saturday morning, reading the paper, when my phone went. The caller was Rangers director, Jack Gillespie, and he offered me the manager's job at Ibrox. I was flattered but declined with thanks. John Greig was a good friend of mine and I had no intention of being involved in ousting him.
Alex Ferguson
Image
Listen, I was the first black manager in baseball and there was incredible pressure. I don't blame anyone else. I was too tough . . . I lack patience. I probably got on guys a little too hard, with the wrong tone of voice.
Frank Robinson
Image
A manager is a guide. He takes a group of people and says, 'With you I can make us a success I can show you the way.'
Arsene Wenger
Image
Why are baseball managers the only coaches who dress up like the players?
Jay Mohr
Image
Every manager dreams of a job like this [the England job] and I will be sure to learn English within one month.
Fabio Capello
Image
We all want to play great music all the time, but if that is not possible, you have to hit as many right notes as you can.
Jose Mourinho
Image
Am I a great manager? Huh. I was blessed to have a front office that found great talent, and then I was smart enough to stay the hell out of their way.
