Good morning. It’s Tuesday, March 18, 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 one of your first management challenges and how did you handle it?
Paul Cestari, General Manager, Veria Living: Addressing performance issues, especially being a new manager myself. Fortunately, I have always been able to keep in the forefront of my mind that every employee is an equal person and always deserves the utmost respect and compassion. That said, it’s also my responsibility, as an agent for the organization that I work for, to manage as efficiently as possible. With that in mind, I don’t have the luxury of not addressing a performance issue. I realized early on that it truly is more compassionate to deal with it immediately and directly. Some inexperienced managers shy away from this type of feedback, but I have found it best to engage early and often. I believe that, by doing this, it actually gives everyone the very best chance for success. I also believe that by far the majority of people truly want to do a good job. A little redirection in a timely manner actually allows your team to quickly develop and tackle the challenges at hand.
As a leader in today’s business world, you need to earn the respect of your team. Clearly, respect is not just given. A team that trusts its leader is capable of accomplishing amazing things.
Consequently, each member is able to contribute freely and willing to make mistakes knowing that they’re working in an environment that’s collaborative. On the other hand, earlier in my career, I just expected that my team would trust in me and listen to my direction. The problem with just making that assumption is that you never get to a real level of trust. Accordingly, you might have compliance, but rarely will you have true commitment.
What do you know now about being a leader that you didn’t know early in your career?
Bob Scanlon, General Manager of Velocity: That a truly effective manager is one who allows people to not only make mistakes but allows them to take on as much as they want regardless of the job they’re in. They should see a future in the company. Even if you have really talented people you’re not going to keep them unless you’re developing productive people for the company, as opposed to for your own department. Turnover may be higher, but you’re developing people to make them effective employees, not just staff.
Deborah Myers, General Manager and Executive Vice President, Science Channel: Relationships, relationships, relationships. I can’t say it enough. We work in a very small world. Being a leader in this business relies on the strength of partnerships, connections and relationships in the creative and business community. Do right by others because I guarantee that your paths will cross again.
