Pollard and KC Spill Beans About WDBT & WRJM Format Swaps On Myspace

at TVY,that was the only station that Majic had as far as she was concerned.

WTVY is the ONLY station Tragic has (in the black) in Dothan...

The difference is that Paris Hilton knows she's way over her head, and her mistakes don't result in an mass walkouts, legal battles, and lost investor returns on investments...

Paris Hilton is not an employee....It seems you have missed the point entirely, they WALKED out on their jobs, why? Because of the management Tragic has in place and they way it treats people. Their positions were advertised as a threat. This is just one of many legal incidents I'm sure, difference is this one was made public and these people stuck together. How can you blame the employees?

Accoding to Leadership 501...

Definition of Management:“Management” (from Old French ménagement “the art of conducting, directing”, from Latin manu agere “to lead by the hand”) characterises the process of leading and directing all or part of an organization, often a business, through the deployment and manipulation of resources (human, financial, material, intellectual or intangible). …

This definition is interesting because it traces the root meaning back to the Latin phrase meaning “to lead by the hand”. Leading by the hand implies giving direction that is stronger than just a passing suggestion yet still fairly gentle in approach. Leading by the hand also implies that the person doing the leading is first going where the follower is being lead. The leader is not asking the follower to do something he is not willing to do himself.

There is a 1st for everything! At one point Amie was the Operations Manager. In that position she should been concerned for the well being of the other 4 stations as well not just WTVY.

Quote from attack poodle:

Was it really a threat or Management tool? Even according to your definition Management, it kinda seems liek a tool. If they are the "so called #1" Morning show why would they can them? Management was trying to lead them, coach them to better themselves and they ran. THEY (AP, KC, BMC,& ME) were chicken and ran, because they could take critisim or directions.

HMMMM who was doing afternoon drive? KVD, the OM, the leader in a management position. He was doing a show just like he wanted his staff to do. Leading by example. So once again by your definition Magic was right.

Management by intimidation is against the law...threatening an employee against the law, advertising positions not really available (or were they) not scrupulous business practice, they walked, good for them, they win, they are successful! Get over it.

 

[pnut rox]

In our industry it happens all the time! You GET OVER IT!

I do not see where this is intimidation? Please explain. The management went in and said let's do this. the CHICKENS said "NO!" Management wanted to test the waters to see what true talent is out there. Chicken run across the road! So our little canine friend where is the intimidation? Where are the threats?

But now we know why the chicken crossed the road?

No puppy, I think you missed the point. I never said Paris Hilton was an employee. It's called a comparison.

My point was that listening to AP (wherever she happens to be working at the time) talking about radio programming is LIKE listening to Paris talk about math.

As in, ie, neither one knows what the heck they are talking about. Paris looks pretty to fake it...Amie gets by through taking ideas from others and then pushing them under the bus.

As far as management by intimidation goes...I thought styles wrote that book

I am curious. Would the agressive fur ball care to share more specifics about the financials of Magic Broadcasting on a public forum? Hmmmm? From whence didst thou gain thine access? Hmmm?

It is heartening that you are now studying how to use the paw of management.

And whodo, relalize that the treatment of Paris may be because se cooses a different lap dog other than one with curly hair.

Monitor the stations, you can do the math Stewy, rates are not that high......plus at last count there are over 80 investors in Tragic Broadcasting, they know. (FCC.gov)

If what any one on this board is saying is hearsay, do some research, there are some great web sites that will give you all the information you want about this and many other companies. Outside looking in may not give an accurate picture of what is going on, even on the "inside" you don't always know what is really happening (unless you are the one causng it).

As far as management by intimidation goes...I thought styles wrote that book

One factor in measuring the health of management or company is the amount of turnover in a 12 month period, (whether termination or resignation is irrelevant), and the results of such vacancies. Revenue, ratings etc.
Employees always have gripes with the boss, the management, the GM, GSM, LSM, NSM, OM, PD, VP, DJ, etc.etc....that is human nature. However, when the gripes are valid and not handled properly by "management" and escalate into law suits; this too affects the bottom line and becomes serious. If there is management by intimidation, check the record, it will speak for itself. The most recent lawsuit being a $1,000,000 against them.
Like I said do some research if you have time, you will find out EVERYTHING. Sadly, sometimes you don't find out until it's too late. The Dothan 7 got out in time.
