This what Confidants is all about.
When hiring executives, @travisk prioritizes one skill above all others: the ability to solve hard problems.
"There's two things you want an executive to do. You want them to be able to organize, manage, and lead at scale. You also want them to be epic and strategic problem solvers... the best executives are the ones that are doing both well."
"I have come to the conclusion over my years, that problem solving is the most important thing. If you get somebody who organizes and manages well but cannot solve a problem, they're going to be doing ridiculous stuff in a super organized way. The only constraint on your imagination is management capacity. But what is management capacity? It's really problem solving at scale."
Voice and POV come before taste. Perkins knew how important it was to protect and nurture the author's voice.
For George Martin, producers needed taste and tact to get the most out of artists.
Roy Disney's philosophy on building a business was go for your independence and the rest will fall into place.
Episode 6 is out now.
