I suggest anyone who is looking for management or representation in the music industry read the article by Bobby Borg over on the Taxi site.

I quote:

"A manager must be able to nurture and maintain numerous relationships, while at the same time standing firm, being sensible, and demonstrating a strong knowledge of the business. (It's a fine balance between ticking people off and not being a push-over.) If a manager walks into the record label and starts pounding desks, insisting that things get done his way, HE'S BOUND TO GET ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE!"

&

"A manager must be secure, grounded, firm, confident, educated, and well-respected—far above all the bells and whistles and shallow surface stuff. Without these positive and respectful attributes, you're only building a relationship in a personal manager that is doomed to eventually fail!"
