Description
Today’s guest is Steve Burke, Chairman of NBCUniversal.
Since taking over NBCUniversal in 2011, he's almost tripled the profits from around $3 billion to over $8 billion and is leading the fastest growing media company in the world.
Before that, Steve was the #2 guy at Comcast alongside Brian Roberts as they acquired NBCUniversal. He’s also led hugely successful efforts at Disney and ABC.
He has accomplished SO much. But in every role, Steve just knows how to get the most out of the people around him. It’s how he was able to lead the turnaround at DisneyWorld Paris and how the whole idea of Disney Stores even came to exist!
Steve shows us that sometimes, truly breakthrough ideas are already there within your team – and it’s your job as a leader to draw them out.
You’ll also learn:
What to look for in great talent, especially if you work in a rapidly changing field
The #1 mentality you need to establish in your team members
Two things you absolutely must do if you need to make a bold decision
How to balance a legacy product with an emerging one
