CYNOPSISCLASSIFIEDADVANTAGE
04.01.14

Good morning. It’s Tuesday, April 1, 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.

Dermot McCormack, Head of Connected Content at MTV, VH1, CMT and Logo
What does being a leader mean to you?
Being a leader is about being decisive. Making decisions is a key responsibility of a leader, and the parts of industry landscapes I’ve worked in with emerging platforms and media involve dealing with change. Part of leadership for me is making decisions, sometimes unpopular and risky decisions.

What does it mean to be a leader of emerging platforms within the television industry?
I think particularly my role involves harvesting ideas that make sense and being able to really help the company change. Sometimes change can be worrisome, but a big part of a job in a new emerging medium position in a larger traditional media company like MTV is packaging and representing that change and creating a consensus of change so it doesn’t feel as threatening. I think that’s part of leadership, to be able to express why change is good, and how initiatives are good in the long term. Communication, consensus and partnership bring success, particularly when leading and representing the evolution and revolution [of television].
