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.

The great irony of management is that the higher up you go, the less actual control you have.

Management's job is to convey leadership's message in a compelling and inspiring way. Not just in meetings, but also by example.

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.'

Managers are important: they are leading the company and guiding and have to provide vision and manage the daily business.
