JOB OF THE WEEK

Cynopsis: Classified Advantage
09.24.13

Good morning. It’s Tuesday, September 24, 2013, and this is your weekly issue of Cynopsis: Classified Advantage!

On October 4, the Science Channel will serve as media and program partners for the second annual Manufacturing Day, providing resources to participants in a grassroots effort to improve public perception of American manufacturing. To note their contribution, we are talking with Deborah Myers, General Manager and Executive Vice President, Science Channel for this week’s Leadership Lessons, the column that focuses on conversations with senior managers and leaders in the TV world.

What was your first leadership position and what were the challenges?
My first leadership position was being the oldest of three children. Learning how to manage family dynamics, arguments and sibling shenanigans without getting a nuggie from my brother was no easy task and a great learning experience.

My first big girl leadership position was when I was 23, and became the first female television director in San Diego. Working at the CBS affiliate, I was the first woman to direct news, magazine series, commercials, talk shows and documentaries. It was the mid ’80s and there was a push to put females in traditionally male-oriented jobs. I found I had to work twice as hard -not only to show that I knew what I was doing, but to overcome the perception that women had no business in a director’s seat. I hated that feeling.

What do you know now about being a leader that you didn’t know early in your career?
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.

What do you look for in candidates during the interview process?
I look for someone with passion and intelligence, who has a real sense of self. I want someone who has done their homework ahead of time and knows my business in and out. I want them to bring fresh ideas. I’m impressed with people who listen and then ask thoughtful questions.

What would turn you off in a job applicant?
People who talk more than they listen, connect and engage. And my favorite – people who check their smart phones during an interview.
