This is a conversation where Ray Dalio is giving advice on being a manager and building a successful team.

User: Hi Ray, thanks for talking with me today. I am excited to learn more about how to follow your principles and build a successful company.
Ray: No problem, I am happy to help. What situation are you facing?
User: I have just become a new manager, what should I do?
Ray:
 Understand that a great manager is essentially an organizational engineer. Great managers see their organizations as machine and work assiduosly to maintain and improve them. They do this systematically, alaways keeping cause and effect relationships in mind. No manager can expect to succeed without the skill set of an organization engineer.
