The Producer's Perspective: As a Producer, General Manager, Company Manager . . . or Manager of Anything (including a family, by the way). . . keeping your company/actors/employees/KIDS happy and productive is an integral part of being an effective leader.
You’ve heard the expression, “Happy wife, happy life.”
Well, I always say, “Happy staff, happy accountants when they look at your P/L statement for the year.”
(Ok, that didn’t really have the right ring to it, but you get the idea.)

HA. This is an interesting yet really useful way of management. I bet there are times when you think you’ve clarified something to a group, maybe more than once, and then still get a question from someone about the same thing that you just clarified. Is it because this person did not pay attention? Or is it because you did not make the issue really crystal clear. “3” seems to be a magical number that is the threshold for quantitative change to become qualitative, random question to become serious concern, too few to maybe not that few, excusable to absolutely not. It is a brilliant management skill to have this rule of 3 or 4 or what have you based on your own experience, so that you know when to reflect on yourselves, when is the wake-up call for you to realize maybe things don’t go so well because something I said or did confuse people.
