“David was to be an agile, forward-thinking and extraordinarily supportive leader. His chief strength is his intuition. He has an impressive grasp of the media landscape but also proved to be prescient when it comes to future key players or innovations in our industry. He also applied his intuitive nature to managing our varied team. David individualized his support which allowed me to thrive. He recognized when I needed him to step in and when I needed him to give me space to grow and learn. While David may think his humor is his best asset (I assure you it’s NOT), it’s really the deep compassion he has for the people who work in and around him. ”

How can you use humor and creativity to stand out in sales prospecting?
I think it also depends in what you are selling. But in my world of selling media and marketing partnerships (aka not curing any of the world's ills), our potential customers are being solicited by hundreds of vendors a day. My goal is to show that I am never just a vendor, but a partner and humor and creativity are ways to not only stand out in your initial outreach, but show your own humanity. Some basic tips: - Creative subject lines are key - Your message needs to be no longer than a single mobile screen. If they have to scroll, you can lose them - Realize that email takes all tone out of a message, so read it to yourself in different tones to make sure your message can't be misconstrued as offensive

How can you avoid micromanaging your team?
Micromanagement comes from a place of fear, but if a manager pays attention to every micro detail, they cannot focus on the macro strategy. Be clear in your expectations, both quantitative and qualitative of your team and build trust through open communication and shared experience. With trust and honest communication, your team can earn the autonomy and you can focus on your role within the team's mission.
