CYNOPSISCLASSIFIEDADVANTAGE
02.25.14

Good morning. It’s Tuesday, February 25, 2014, and this is your weekly issue of Cynopsis: Classified Advantage!

Welcome to Leadership Lessons, the column that focuses on conversations with senior managers and leaders in the TV world, speaking candidly about their professional journeys and how that informs what they look for when hiring new employees.

What was an important early lesson in leadership you learned?

Sander Schwartz, President: FremantleMedia Kids & Family Entertainment
Roll-up your sleeves, get out of your office, into the trenches and get to work.

Charley Humbard, President & CEO of the UP network
I had to understand that I was there to serve my team, and not just think that my staff was there to take care of me. The best leaders are humble.

When I was building a staff, I’d look at it like a family, thinking, That person is someone I’d love to hang out with. But I had to realize we’re not a family – we’re a team. You have to look at who has the strengths you need; who are your high performers? You need to be like a coach, to think about how you can help your people excel, and move positions if that’s necessary. And you need to be aware of how your needs change as your business evolves. You have to have a different set of standards when you look at it as a team rather than a family. And you know what? It’s lonely at the top.
