When a new manager comes in, you need to show him what you can do, but that may mean waiting for your opportunity.

It's not easy when you have a new manager because you have to try and adapt yourself to him, the team, training sessions, and the game.

One of the jobs of a manager is to instill confidence, pump confidence into your people. And when you've got somebody who's raring to go and you can smell it and feel it, give 'em that shot.

Being a manager is about getting into the minds of the people you represent.

If I look myself as a manager, I have lot more to learn.

Your time as a manager is finite and valuable.

You're not going to become a great manager overnight. You're not going to become a great public speaker or figure out how to raise money. These are the things you want to start the clock on as early as possible.

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.'

What any manager will try to bring to a company first and foremost is an energy and commitment to the business. To try and really roll your sleeves up.

You can't always wait for the guys at the top. Every manager at every level in the organization has an opportunity, big or small, to do something. Every manager's got some sphere of autonomy. Don't pass the buck up the line.
