Obviously I've got a great team of people within the company. You can't operate all by yourself. We have a good board of directors and a big bench, and they can make decisions if I'm not around.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have a staff of 12 people, so it's easy for them to handle all the management and the day to day at the company while I'm directing.
I would say that I'm blessed with a very, very good executive team that operates, reasonably autonomously, each of the companies.
I've worked with a lot of first-time directors who kind of look to me for ideas and opinions and stuff, and I'm a team player.
I view my role more as trying to set up an environment where the personalities, creativity and individuality of all the different employees come out and can shine.
You know, as most entrepreneurs do, that a company is only as good as its people. The hard part is actually building the team that will embody your company's culture and propel you forward.
When you are a successful business person, you are only as good as your team. No one can do every deal alone.
I work strategically with my management team to make all decisions.
People have said, 'Why don't you make your own company like Chan-wook Park has his own company,' but my head is full of writing and directing and I don't feel like I want to run a company. That's not really within my personality as well.
I've worked with many directors, good ones and bad ones. So if I have a chance to work the good ones, I better put myself in their hands, and trust them, because that's my big opportunity to be different, and to be better than usual.
Everybody on my team - I couldn't do their jobs. I could not. I really mean that. So I figured out early on that the way you're successful is you hire really successful people.
