What would you do if alligators were loose in your office? Or if key employees were infant twins? How do you manage 130 people who were hired yesterday?
It’s not about what you want, what do you NEED?
Tom Reilly has faced these dilemmas in his three-decade career managing major motion pictures. An experienced professional filmmaker, he’s led more than 100,000 employees and been responsible for over two billion dollars in production budgets.
Without an office or a sick day, Reilly was forced to adopt and hone a unique set of strategies to accommodate for extreme conditions and the challenge of leading and managing big budget projects, a revolving-door workforce of technicians and actors such as: Al Pacino, Robert de Niro, Woody Allen, Sean Connery, and Harrison Ford.
Reilly explores the ten key strategies he utilized to manage big crews, big budgets, and big personalities on major motion pictures, and shows us how these strategies can be leveraged in any business for success.
With an eye for making small adjustments to management strategy that produce big results, Reilly utilizes the narrative backdrop of the film set as an extreme case study in modern management, identifying proven, easy-to-implement, and often counter intuitive practices that will increase engagement, team cohesion, efficiency, creativity, quality, and the bottom line in any industry.
