Racing Team Manager Gifts

Frank Williams RIP

Team Leader

"I need to tinkle."

'Hey, look, I can stand up and shout, too!'

"I hate performance review season."

"Be careful what you wish for, Bob, because you just might get it. And if it happens to be what I was wishing for, things could get pretty ugly around here."

'One of the new targets is targeting which targets we're meant to target.'

"Serendipity is not a strategy."

Pushy Dog

'I reckon we need a new sweeper.'

'We went generic. The players' salaries are affordable.'

Business Meeting

"Fellas, I invited Max here to give us a fresh, millennial take on how to get out of the inning."

'You are dreaming the impossible team.'

'This is gonna be one of those teamwork talks, isn't it?'

'The project isn't that important, so put some of your worst people on it.'

Project Manager Showdown

"I heard you're top dog in trust and loyalty training."

"Either accept the pay reduction or you get sent down to the minors."

Football fans discuss a deceased manager: A giant, a legend, much loved. Didn't we sack him?

"Today's top priority is prioritizing our priorities."

The Department of People waiting for Something to Happen...

"We won again, and guess what? A Russian oligarch wants to buy us!"

'Focus! Focus! You've just gotta' forget about their home ground advantage.

Great coaching is about building constructive relationships...

'Daft title. How could you have 'backward' planning?'

'We believe in having a very specialised team. Watkins here for example provides all our human error.'

"Politicians can't make the trains run on time but they never miss the gravy train."

"No need to give me credit . . . I'll just take it."

"Don't let it come to a voice vote. We always get screwed."

"It's my duty to warn you that prolonged squabbling will push this meeting past the end of my rope."

Target setting: 'What about 38%, we haven't used 38% for a while.'
