Good morning. It’s Tuesday, March 11, 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 did you learn in your first senior position that you still use today?
Brian Volk-Weiss, President of Production, New Wave Entertainment:
When you’re dealing with a difficult circumstance, it’s very important to phrase things as "When you do X, it makes me feel Y." What I used to say was, "Don’t do this because it’s bad!" If you’re just telling people not to do something, unless you’re a cop, it’s really not an effective way to communicate. You want to involve people. If you say to someone, "When you do this, it puts us in a bad spot," it puts them in the boat with you.
I grew up in a family where everybody was yelling at one another and it was normal and we all loved it, but not everybody [else] did. It took me a long time to realize that being an only child in New York is different from being in a family of eight in Iowa. If I could tell that to myself when I was 18 or 22, I think that would have made my life easier and more productive.
Keith Gordon, President, NFL Players, Inc:
I learned a lot about managing people in that role, but perhaps the greatest lesson was the difference between managing and leading. I would add that (like many first time leaders) I learned more from my failures than from my successes. I like to think of it as going to work on your first day and strapping on a tool belt. When you get started it’s all about finding the right tools and knowing how to use them to get the job done. Over time, you not only accumulate more tools to put in your belt, but you’re constantly re-organizing the tools to do the job as it evolves. As a manager and a leader, the tools are very different and need more and more room in your belt, therefore some tools are minimized to accommodate them in favor of tools with a larger and more strategic impact.
