    Lights, Camera, Leadership: Managing Teams Like a Movie Set
    2024/11/11
    What do a classical pianist, a filmmaker, and a CEO have in common? In this week's episode of Hiring Matters, Ken Schmitt dives into the fascinating mind of Jieho Lee—CEO, Chief People Officer, and movie director. From ivory keys to boardrooms, Jieho takes us on a wild ride, showing us how the skills he developed on the movie set translate directly to leading a diverse and dynamic workforce. Cue the drama! Ken and Jieho hash out the great debate: Should company culture be more "work hard, play hard" à la Netflix, or should we strive for something a little more, dare we say, fun? Jieho argues that a workplace should spark joy, not dread, while Ken questions if the tough-love, performance-driven environment is a necessary evil. Expect a few verbal eye rolls and some serious food for thought. Together, they dig into managing a multi-generational workforce. Spoiler alert: Boomers, Gen Z, and everyone in between don't all want the same things from their jobs (shocking, we know). So, how do you balance these diverse expectations without losing your sanity? Jieho and Ken tackle it head-on, offering insights, laughs, and even a few leadership facepalms along the way. Whether you're managing egos on a movie set or in a boardroom, creating a safe, collaborative space is essential. And Jieho's secret sauce? Humility, reflection, and realizing that even CEOs (and directors) are only as good as the teams they lead. Tune in for a conversation packed with humor, hard truths, and a fresh perspective on how to lead, hire, and retain top talent—whether you're running a company or filming the next blockbuster. Key Takeaways: Artsy types make great CEOs (who knew?). Classical music taught Jieho the importance of harmony—literally and figuratively.Is fun the new productivity?Multi-generational management: It's like herding cats but with more Slack messages.Cultural fit or diversity of thought? Hint: You need both. A good leader knows how to adapt and evolve. The best leader? Knows how to laugh through it. Have questions or personal experiences?

We'd love to hear what’s happening on your workplace “movie set”!

  • Coca-Cola, ArmorAll, and Pens?! Why CMO Jeff Werderman Says Your Leadership Style Needs a Refresh

    Coca-Cola, ArmorAll, and Pens?! Why CMO Jeff Werderman Says Your Leadership Style Needs a Refresh
    2024/10/14
    If you think pens, soda, and car wax sound like the most boring things ever—think again. Our guest, marketing powerhouse Jeff Werderman, has spent 30 years leading at brands like Coca-Cola, Boost Mobile, and ArmorAll, and now he’s running the show at Pentel of America (yes, the pen company). But this isn’t about writing instruments—it’s about writing the new rules for leadership. Jeff’s got some seriously controversial takes on what’s wrong with today’s workforce, and why your leadership style is probably driving your best people straight out the door. From leading teams of 80 to navigating the Gen Z takeover, Jeff digs into why creating a learning culture—where even the most junior employees act like CEOs of their own desks—is the only way forward. He doesn’t hold back on why hiring for attitude (and the occasional ego bruising) is more important than skill sets and how letting your team think for themselves could be your secret weapon. The episode is loaded with controversy and wisdom. Ready for the hard truth? According to Jeff, you need to embrace the chaos and hand over the reins. And if your team isn’t roasting your “lame” social media content, well... they might already be eyeing the exit. This episode will leave you rethinking everything from your hiring strategy to how you manage your teams. Takeaways: hire for opinions, embrace transparency, and if your employees aren’t calling you out—ask yourself why! Have questions or personal experiences?

Empower Ownership: Explore how giving employees autonomy boosts engagement and enhances performance. About Our Guest: Meet Jeff Werderman, the Marketing Yoda and Brand Whisperer. As the Director of Marketing at Pentel of America since March 2018, Jeff leads the marketing function for this venerable global writing instrument company. With over three decades of experience, he is known for awakening the force in brands through inspiring strategies.
