CYNOPSISCLASSIFIEDADVANTAGE
05.13.14
Good morning. It’s Tuesday, May 13, 2014, and this is your weekly issue of Cynopsis: Classified Advantage!
We have received a number of requests to run this Leadership Lesson again.
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 Guy Oranim, CEO of BabyFirst.
What was your first job?
I was a strategic planner for BBDO.
Describe the first time you were in a leadership position and what you learned from it.
As EVP of strategic planning for BBDO, I learned first that people are the biggest resource you got you cannot overestimate their importance. You need to work all the time to improve your team by continuously looking for new talent. And second, focus on the good people. Some employees are worth making hooplas over, and giving them almost everything. There are very few of those but they are extremely important and create 99% of the value for you in a creative organization like an ad agency.
What are the key attributes you look for when making a new hire?
That they’re entrepreneurial, a quick learner, trustworthy, creative, and hard-working.
If you could only ask one question when interviewing potential new employees, what would it be?
Tell me about one achievement in your career you’re most proud of and why.
