Good morning. It’s Tuesday, April 22, 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. Today, meet Miguel Santos, Myx TV’s General Manager.
What was your first leadership position?
I was Head of Production and OAP at MTV Asia for their channel in the Philippines.
What did you learn from it?
I learned that a leader can’t be self-serving or play favorites. You have to look out for the best interests of your department as a whole, even if that means making hard decisions that aren’t popular. I was 25 when I was promoted to my first leadership position so it was a steep learning curve for me. Being a leader requires a great deal of maturity and perspective.
Tell us about a management decision you wish you’d handled differently.
There were some instances when I should’ve been more assertive in enforcing a decision I made. Perceived uncertainty can affect the confidence that a team has in their leader.
What do you look for when interviewing candidates?
I look for three things: skill, discipline, and passion. Having skill is a given, but discipline and passion separate outstanding employees from the rest — they’re willing to learn, apply what they learned, and go the extra mile.
