I think people are always able to achieve more than they think they can. While that's cliche, I don't know if managers think about that enough. You have to set your sights extremely high.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There is no real limit to how much better a person who really commits to getting better can get. Every manager has the potential to become an excellent manager for the rest of his or her career.
We, as individuals, must be responsible for our careers with the goal of reaching our highest potential. The job of a manager is to tap into that energy that's already there.
Super-ambitious goals tend to be unifying and energizing to people; but only if they believe there's a chance of success.
A manager is not a person who can do the work better than his men; he is a person who can get his men to do the work better than he can.
When you get successful, you can do pretty much whatever you want.
If you're successful and growing, you can manage any way you want to. Growth makes so many dimensions of management easier. It's when growth stops that things get tough.
A person has to remember that the road to success is always under construction. You have to get that through your head. That it is not easy becoming successful.
If you have the talent and if you have the ability, and you work for it, you can achieve your goals.
I believe you can achieve anything if you work hard enough to get it.
I think all managers have to be so demanding.
