Marc Platt Quotes

The best CEOs I know are teachers, and at the core of what they teach is strategy.

The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why.

I've always tried to be a leader.

A leader is the one who can outline the broad vision and the direction, and say here's where we are going to go, here's why we need to go there, and here's how we are going to get there. A manager is the one who actually gets up under the hood and tunes the carburetor.

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.'

Leadership is working with goals and vision; management is working with objectives.

There's no way a director can communicate with every single person on the set and yet they need to motivate and instill an ambition to want to do their best work.

Reason and judgment are the qualities of a leader.

Leadership is absolutely about inspiring action, but it is also about guarding against mis-action.

Leadership consists of picking good men and helping them do their best.

And I'd say one of the great lessons I've learned over the past couple of decades, from a management perspective, is that really when you come down to it, it really is all about people and all about leadership.

If you are going to lead people, you have to know where they are going.

Management is different from leadership..
