Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of strong management and leadership skills in determining the success of a business. It suggests that having a skilled and capable manager is more valuable than the inherent qualities or potential of the business itself. A competent manager will have the ability to make the most out of available resources and navigate challenges effectively, even if the business is not initially top-tier. In contrast, a subpar manager would struggle to maintain the success of a first-rate business due to poor decision-making or lack of leadership skills.

I do love science fiction, but it's not really a genre unto itself it always seems to merge with another genre. With the few movies I've done, I've ended up playing with genre in some way or another, so any genre that's made to mix with others is like candy to me. It allows you to use big, mythic situations to talk about ordinary things.
