It would be hard to say you have an advantage over anyone. The idea of a manager is to get the most out of your players, and everyone does it differently. I'm just doing it the best way I know how.

The team has been picking itself this season but with a fully fit squad then I'll be confident we can push up the table and get to an area in the table where we want to be.

A normal market is better for active management. I'm paying a manager to keep me out of trouble.

The role of the board and the community manager is to clearly explain their roles so there are clear expectations, not false expectations.

We also have further sharpened our focus on the Blue Harbor Resort in Sheboygan, Wis.

After 25 years in major league baseball, it's a dream come true to be the general manager of one of the most storied franchises in all of sports.

My goal from this point forward is to accept nothing less than winning a World Championship with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Ossie was working as stage manager and he began making notes. Something about the sense of humor instilled in Eastern European Jewish culture appealed to him. The message was profound but the delivery was hilarious. Through that he saw that humor could turn racism on its ear, too.

People forget now that (Damon) Stoudamire was having his best year probably in about five seasons before he went out with the leg injury. But they picked up (Chucky) Atkins so it's been able to continue. (Winning 49 games) is a testimony to a general manager who can help a situation.

Despite the attempts of some to portray Theo's return as a win for someone and a loss for someone else, this is a win-win situation. As Theo said in his press conference on Nov. 2, and as we have all repeated, there never was a power struggle between Larry and Theo. It was simply mythology. I can assure you as we move forward that Larry's role has not changed at all, and no general manager in baseball could ask for more autonomy than Theo has. This has never been an issue for us - only in the media.

Now, just -- just a few minutes ago, you heard Manager Gekas talk to you about perjury, ... And probably 90 percent of what he talked to you about was perjury in the (Paula) Jones case.

Now, large subdivisions are being built. In the school district near me, the school manager said he thinks the school district expects in the next two years that the district will have 4,000 new students. That didn't happen 50 years ago, you didn't even get 200 new students then.

Now is not the time to bring in a town manager who would feel compelled to bring in their own people because we want to retain the first class management team that we already have in West Hartford.

The manager is a key part of that and his future is not up for discussion.

That's what our problem is. We haven't had anyone step up and take the initiative to assume the responsibility for the management of that type of thing.

A manager can't just get up and leave if he's under contract,'' said agent Lon Cooper, whose clients include several NBA coaches.

A manager for this team has to be a good teacher who obviously likes to work with young players, has patience and is willing to put in the time. D.J. really does well with the young players. D.J.'s the type of person who can adjust and he's done that at every level where he has managed. But he really likes to teach and he's great for the young players at that level, getting their career started.

A manager should be judged on results and he has guided us to the World Cup finals as he said he would do.

Schwartz is a no-nonsense type of manager and is really high on results. There's no question that he would cut jobs, but it would probably be wrong to characterize him as a wholesale hatchet man. I think his main priority is to right the ship.

People who have been out for a while say, 'I've got to get back to work,' so they take downgraded jobs, ... Maybe they can't get a job as the plant manager, so they try to get a job as a manager on the factory line and work their way back up.

said Oakland manager Ken Macha. ''They're going to land over there in the same spot. I think there's a parking garage over there.

Salim will be back on Monday and we'll sit down next week and maybe think about bringing someone in, but I don't know who that's going to be. I'll sit down with Billy (general manager Billy Knight) and figure out what to do next.

Sam Walton established a mantra: the store manager must every year increase sales and reduce labor costs. But that is an oxymoron--they're lowering the prices on the backs of the people who work for them. That is why I spent four months of my life at 71 years old making the point to corporate America that we are not in industrial England anymore. We're in the 21st century and these are good workplace rules, and you've got to obey them.

Our customers have told us of their need for ad hoc meeting support. With the Interactive LCD Solution, people can walk up to an LCD panel and instantly see where their meeting is, what rooms are available, and what's in those rooms -- and of course book a room on the spot. Ad hoc meetings are part of how people work: the Meeting Room Manager with the Interactive LCD Solution provides the most effective way for organizations to meet these needs.

Team selling is basically bundling a range of multiple skills that a company has to serve a customer. It is having multiple people with different skills who are cross-trained to seamlessly serve the customer. Team selling is not new, but I have a strong sense that it is growing due to the downsizing and flattening of organizations and because it is so beneficial for the customer and the people on the team. Good team selling doesn't require a manager because it is self-managed.

Right now, the farthest a manager in France can go, for example, is to head the local factory.

Fearing for their safety, the manager complied with the suspect?s demands.
