Cynopsis: Classified Advantage

Good morning. It’s Tuesday, July 23, 2013, and this is your weekly issue of Cynopsis: Classified Advantage!
Leadership lessons from Warren Packard, Founder and CEO, Thuuz Sports
What was your first leadership position?
I headed up a multi-disciplinary arts (music, drama, dance, creative arts, etc.) exposition as a senior in high school. Along with two other students, I was responsible for mobilizing over 100 students to coordinate a week-long focus on the arts that balanced the varied interests of more than 2400 students while yielding an educational experience that the faculty deemed worthwhile (and valuable enough to justify canceling formal classes for a week).
What did you learn about managing people when you were in that job?
It wasn’t a job… it was an adventure…. Dealing with and pleasing multiple constituencies. Generating growing energy & enthusiasm over an extended period of time. Driving consensus actions among large groups of individuals. Managing by objective rather than directive. On-the-spot, scrappy problem-solving to turn problems into “features.” Maintaining a calm, easy-going demeanor in the face of adversity and stress.
What do you know now that you didn’t know then?
Absolutely anyone can be a leader. Leadership doesn’t require age, doesn’t require experience, and doesn’t require massive intelligence. Leadership requires vision, energy, enthusiasm, ingenuity, gumption, and a high emotional intelligence. Even if one is just starting out in his or her career, one should generate a far-reaching vision for the business that they’re in and use that vision to ensure that one always has the big picture in mind, even if one is executing, day-to-day, down in the weeds on some tactically important, yet not far-reaching, objectives for the business.
What are your go-to interview questions?
What do you know now that you didn’t know then?
What are your favorite outdoor activities?
What was your most disappointing job?
What was your dirtiest/grimiest job?
Do you read Cynopsis daily?
