"That room was not available, and the only other room had been booked for a Jewish bar mitzvah. I called the father and told him I needed the room and I would pay him to move the bar mitzvah to an adjoining room which was smaller"

This quote by Lew Wasserman speaks with the power of negotiation and the value of having the ability to think on your feet. Wasserman needed a room for a company conference, but the just other room had actually currently been reserved for a Jewish bar mitzvah. Rather than giving up, Wasserman called the daddy and used to pay him to move the bar mitzvah to an adjacent space which was smaller. This demonstrates Wasserman's ability to believe outside the box and create an imaginative solution to an issue. It likewise reveals his willingness to negotiate and his understanding of the power of money. Eventually, this quote speaks with the importance of having the ability to believe rapidly and come up with innovative solutions to issues.
