As a player, I was very lucky to have so many good managers in my career. I remember the first two at Lecce: Eugenio Fascetti and Carlo Mazzone. They were very important for me and my growth.
Antonio Conte
You need to be very critical of yourself. There are a few very good managers who can make players better individually. Most managers think about the team process - and so you have to improve things on your own.
Arjen Robben
I never thought I was a very good manager.
Barry Diller
That is what a good manager does - you study and think and discuss, and you come up with a model of playing.

The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided.
Casey Stengel
I have a lot of time and respect for Roy Hodgson; he's a very good manager.
Chris Coleman
There are a lot of good managers out of work because there are only so many jobs out there, and if you get it wrong two jobs running, it's hard to get a third one. That's generally the rule.
Over the years I've learned that, to be a good manager, you need to have passion, and you need to have a strong character. Without those things, the job is very, very difficult.
Claudio Ranieri
Many of the factors that we think will cause motivation, such as fair pay and a good manager, won't make you love your job. Even if you eliminate what makes you dissatisfied, that doesn't make you motivated. It doesn't make your work rewarding. You just are less bothered by things.
Clayton M. Christensen
It's good that we have good managers like Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger in this countr,y but I think we should be trying to send out some of our managers to other countries to help not just the development of themselves but the leagues over here. It can enhance their careers.
David Moyes
He who brings a style to a club that can't carry it out, he is not a good manager, because he is attacking the club that hires him.
Diego Simeone
On the playing side, a lot of guys I played under were pretty good managers.
Don Mattingly
Reading a book about management isn't going to make you a good manager any more than a book about guitar will make you a good guitarist, but it can get you thinking about the most important concepts.
Drew Houston
Bad ballplayers make good managers.
Earl Weaver
To be a good manager, a manager tries to constantly fight to reduce waste.
Eliyahu Goldratt
You don't have to be popular with the players to be a good manager or coach.
Francis Lee
I had many good managers: Wim Jansen, Martin O'Neill, Frank Rijkaard, and Alex Ferguson, to name just a few.
Henrik Larsson
I love the ability to work with very good managers, and to provide the right incentives for them, and truly become a partner with that management, and make that management take a long view.
Henry Kravis
Of course, when you play football yourself you can think you want to become a manager but it does not make you a good manager.
Jaap Stam
It's not always the player that's talking in the dressing room that becomes a good manager. It's a feeling that you need to develop, it's a feeling that needs to grow on you.
If you have good songs and a real desire to make music, the next thing to do, instead of approach record companies, is to get yourself a really good manager because then it allows you to focus on your profession of being a musician. Then they can focus on the darker art of the record label and the music industry.
The key to being a good manager or a good entrepreneur is to pick the right people. Pick the right people, and they'll make you look good.
There are people who are better managers than I am. I aspire to be a really good manager, but it's not my natural personality to do the same thing for 14 hours a day. I have a lot of different interests. I really like product and strategy and business strategy, and I think I'm not bad at it.
There are so many clubs with great squads, good managers, good financial situations that allows them to sign good players.
I have always regrets about selling anything of Reed Hastings because he's really a good manager and a great capitalist.
Good managers ensure good outcomes, but great leaders can deliver a vision by getting people to work together.
The one word that makes a good manager - decisiveness.
Decisiveness is the one word that makes a good manager.
I like to think that I've been a good manager. That fact has been very instrumental in making Linux a successful product.
I'm a good manager, but a bad celebrity.
I think what's important in a good manager and a good agent is that they know your vision and that they are passionate about you and believe in you. Because if they don't, then they're not going to work hard for you, and they're going to send you out on things that you don't want to do.
I guess I'm a good manager now. Moreover, I'm loving the concept of donning the producer's hat. It's all very exciting as well as a great learning experience. You're a part of a film right from its conception to its execution, and that's an amazing feeling.
There are people who are really good managers, people who can manage a big organization, and then there are people who are very analytic or focused on strategy. Those two types don't usually tend to be in the same person. I would put myself much more in the latter camp.
I have really good managers and agents who are very selective in what they send me.
You need good staff with their own opinions - Mick Jones has been a great No 2 as he's not a yes-man - but at the end of the day the buck stops with you and the good managers are the ones who make more good decisions than bad.
You hear all these people saying, 'Oh, Pep, what a good manager he is.' Forget about it. Cruyff was the best, by far.
As a goalkeeper you need to be good at organising the people in front of you and motivating them. You need to see what's going on and react to the threats. Just like a good manager in business.
Luiz Felipe Scolari was a good professional, a nice person, someone you could talk with before and after games. He has a lot of experience and is a good manager.
Roy Hodgson is a very good manager with a clear plan.
My liberal friends love to dismiss Reagan. You know, they'll say something like, 'Oh, didn't he, like, only read one-page memos when he was in the White House?' Well, that's just good managerial practice. I mean, Franklin Roosevelt made people write one-page memos.
It wasn't purely Alex Ferguson's experience that made him a good manager, because he did it when he was inexperienced. But if you've got the qualities needed, and then you add experience to it, someone who's been through it, well, that has to be advantageous. There's no doubt about that.
In managers, I look for people who can get things done through other people. The most important thing for a good manager is that the people on his team feel like he or she has integrity.
My style is to keep folks in place who are good managers and want to win.
Good managers have a bias for action.
I got even with all the bad management I had by being a good manager.
