| | | Live PD's Unpredictability Keeps Audiences Glued to A&E Over Streamers | It's certainly not easy out there in the linear TV business as ratings keep dropping across the broadcast and cable networks.

| | | Adweek Executive Mentor Program | | | Career Tip: Great mentors come into your life at key moments Antonio Lucio, global CMO, Facebook: “I've been a very fortunate to have had great mentors around the world at different moments. Some have stayed with me for many years; some came to me in at a moment when I needed to learn something very specific. From my very first boss at Proctor and Gamble; to the privilege of working with people like Steve Reinemund, Indra Nooyi, and Mike White when I was at PepsiCo; to the incredible opportunity to meet Lord Philip Gould, who became a beacon in my transformation as a human being and as a leader; to the people that work for me today, who inspire me and teach me new skills of our labor."

| | | Workplace Tip: How do you formulate goals that you can track and measure? | Jessica Kassel head of talent, Heat I would suggest making them concrete by writing them down or putting them into a deck that you can share with your employee or manager. Whether short-term or long-term goals, they should ideally ladder into your overarching career vision, helping you feel that you’re building towards making that vision a reality. Having consistent check-ins can enable employees and managers to determine if they’re tracking towards those goals and help course correct in real time. Additionally, when setting goals, it’s important to identify goals that are motivating. The more specific and relevant to overarching career growth, the better. Ideally, a timeline should be assigned to these goals as well for accountability. Laura Small, vp and director of people, RPA We encourage all of our managers to work with their employees to set SMART goals, and check in with them throughout the year on their progress. Some of our leaders even use "micro" goals, so that things are a bit more bite-sized. Again, the focus is on what works for that person. Mackenzie Pion, studio manager and culture coordinator, FINE We collaboratively formulate both soft and hard goals specific to each individual employee based on their career trajectory, personal growth, contribution to their team, and alignment with our strategic business goals. Personal and professional development KPIs are set and milestones are tracked with each check-in and annual review. | | | |
