Leadership-Panel32026.jpg

New Face Book: Vulnerability, mentorship and self care were among the topics addressed at Friday morning's "Lead Me Like You Mean It" CRS panel. The Great Story Workshop's Dawn Ziegerer shared a cautionary leadership tale about low paid radio staff coming out of their pockets for lunch at a remote while an on-site station owner remained oblivious, calling it "demoralizing." The TJ Show's TJ Taormina said the best leaders recognize that "the quickest way to be relatable and have influence is to be honest about [their own] failures." Cumulus/Nashville's Allison Warren said having mentors can be a critical outlet for leaders. "It can be pretty lonely [at the top]," she said. "You're not venting down, and you gotta be really careful venting sidewise." She also suggested leaders take five minutes for themselves before meetings to "rearrange your face." CMA's Mia Jones moderated.
