Before joining the CBS O&O in
A Bakers Dozen of Sensible Schuh's:
Be a good employee.
Don't whine.
Pretend you are a freelancer -- like you must impress the bosses every day or you won't be able to afford food.
Surprise the producers. Give them more than they asked for in less time.
Work hard on the little story and the boss will give you the big ones.
Keep your mind on the story, not on the station gossip. Spend at least 5-10 minutes exchanging ideas about the story on the way to the story. Good ideas snowball.
Communicate expectations, communicate needs, communicate wants.
What do I have? What do I need?
On the ride home, go through the sequences about what will work where.
Offer solutions, not just problems.
Stand up straight.
Eat your vegetables.
Wear glasses if you need them.
