Francis Ford Coppola attributes his success to “thinking like a six-year-old boy” all his life. He has produced 72 movies and directed 33, including The Godfather and Apocalypse Now, regarded as two of the best in history. He is currently at work on a small, personal film. He also owns an eponymous Napa Valley wine business where, he says, his job is to focus on the big picture—“like a movie director.”

A version of this article appeared in the October 2011 issue of Harvard Business Review.
