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.

Basically, a manager is a father figure to 20 or 25 blokes. It's about trying to get the best out of them and creating team spirit.

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.

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.'

I think every manager is different in their own way.

I think management is about just that - managing people via man-to-man skills.

Different managers give confidence in different ways. Some by hugging, others by talking or having conversations.

Leaders are people who do the right thing; managers are people who do things right.

I've never seen myself as a manager. As a manager, you have to put all your time into the job, and that would be difficult for me.

The prevailing - and foolish - attitude is that a good manager can be a good manager anywhere, with no special knowledge of the production process he's managing. A man with a financial background may know nothing about manufacturing shoes or cars, but he's put in charge anyway.
