Cynopsis: Classified Advantage
10.22.13

Good morning. It’s Tuesday, October 22, 2013, 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 Mike Henry, CEO of Outrigger Media, offers his view on what it really means to be a leader.

What was your first leadership position?
Well, you can lead from whatever role you’re in. If you wait to lead before someone tells you to, you’re probably too late. In a more linear answer to the question, I ran ad sales at The Wall Street Journal for a number of years. It was a time for setting the vision, and participating in that vision by being both a player and a coach.

What do you know now that you didn’t know then?
The smaller you are in company size, the more gratifying the success feels. “There are thousands of people who work [at the WSJ] and contribute to that success, so its hard to know how much you actually impacted things.” When you’re at a launch – I started Outrigger four years ago – or you’re working with 100-200 people, it’s much easier to see the connection between what you did and what actually happened because of your work.

If you could be in any profession other than the one you are in now, what would it be?
I would be a charter airline pilot flying small planes to somewhere warm. I’m actually a pilot now, but doing it as a full-time job would be fun.
