Decisiveness is the one word that makes a good manager.

The true genius of a great manager is his or her ability to individualize. A great manager is one who understands how to trip each person's trigger.

The best, most successful managers in the modern era are those who can keep a player happy even if he is not in the team. Given the size of the squads and the use of rotation nowadays, that's tougher than it's ever been.

I am not saying I am the best manager in the world. But I'm quite good.

The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided.

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.

In the end, as a manager or coach, you have to keep your heart pure and do your best as a manager or a coach.

Decisiveness is a characteristic of high-performing men and women. Almost any decision is better than no decision at all.

We're all flawed, but basically, effective managers are people whose flaws are not fatal under the circumstances. Maybe the best managers are simply ordinary, healthy people who aren't too screwed up.
