A Dream Team For New Ideas In Media

Some thoughts on assembling teams and their  qualities.  Creating teams with this level of passion, drive, mental energy, integrity and focus doesn’t have to be a lost art.

Imagine:

-PEOPLE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE NEW MAINSTREAM–MULTI CULTURAL THINKING…HIGH BULLSHIT RADAR…LIVING ON STREETS NOT BEHIND WALLS

-BEING THE REBELS THAT TOUCH THE NERVES OF THE NEW MAINSTREAM REGARDLESS OF PHYSICAL AGE

-GLOBAL THINKERS.  THERE’S MORE INNOVATION COMING FROM A FILM MAKER IN BERLIN THAN A NETWORK CONFERENCE ROOM IN NYC OR LA….WE LIVE IN A GLOBAL REALITY,  EVEN IN AMERICA.  BEING OPEN TO GLOBAL INTELLECT AND IDEAS

-ARE WARPED…IN A GOOD WAY. THE OTHER NEW NORMAL

-WE IMPROVE LIVES THROUGH COMMUNICATION OF COOL NEW IDEAS

-BENDS CULTURE AS WELL AS ECHOES IT

-HAS A CLEAN CLEAR LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE VOID OF POLITICS.  EVERYONE IS ALLOWED TO DO WHAT THEY DO BEST OR IDEALLY, BRILLIANTLY—- ALL WITHIN A FLEXIBLE GAMEPLAN

-WE ARE CAREFUL IN LISTENING TO OTHERS.  WE LISTEN…CAREFULLY…BUT WE ARE SELECTIVE AS OUR KEY COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE IS AVOIDING THE SHEEP FACTOR—AMPLIFIED BY SOCIAL AND TRADITIONAL MEDIA.  LISTENING TO THE WRONG PEOPLE INHIBITS ORIGINAL THINKING….AND COMPETITION TENDS TO BE SHEEPISH RATHER THAN FRIGHTENINGLY ORIGINAL. GENERATE THE NEW IDEAS THAT OTHERS LISTEN TO

-WE KNOW AMERICAN MEDIA TENDS TO BE WHITE BREAD,  AVERAGE, DUMB AND OVER RESEARCHED.  INSTEAD OF WHINING—WE FIX THROUGH ACTION–MULTICULTURAL THINKING…NOT AVERAGE…MASS APPEAL INTELLIGENT AND AFTER THE FACT RESEARCH — MEANING RESEARCH IS MOST CRITICAL TO VERIFY ORIGINAL THINKING NOT BLOCK IT

-HIRING MANTRA   HIGH IQ/LOW BS…AND NO DRAMA.  EXTREME FOCUS

-PASSION, CHARACTER & MUSCLE 

-SAYS WHAT PEOPLE ARE THINKING.  GOOD BAD AND UGLY

…AND THE FREEDOM TO WRITE THE SHARP NEW PLAYBOOKS WITH VISION NOT FEAR... AND BEING FOCUSED ON COMMERCIAL, INTELLECTUAL AND SOCIAL SUCCESS
