Team chemistry and culture are so vital when it comes to daily routines. In radio, flexibility and last-minute stuff comes with the territory. However, if you’re a leader, why not do your best to not purposely create unneeded stress for your team. That would be pre-planning and working ahead. The result is that your team will love you for it!
HERE’S A CHALLENGE FOR PROGRAM DIRECTORS
You’ve probably experienced the phenomena of a contest or promotion that starts on Monday and not a thing has been prepared and it’s Friday. Let’s be honest. That’s not fair to anyone on the team: script writing, contest rules, voice work, production, DJs, digital, etc. No one wants to stay longer on a Friday or even work over the weekend because the PD dropped the ball.
Here’s one tool that can help PDs plan ahead and score points with the team: A Free Imaging Writing Rhythm PDF.
It's an idea starter that gives dates to work ahead and helps PDs be fully prepared for seasonal imaging or annual contests and promotions. This is one way to honor and super-serve while avoiding the embarrassment of dropping the ball, which causes the team pain and resentment.
Side note: not every idea on the free .pdf works in every part of the country. It may need tweaked to fit your climate and area. In no way is this list complete or exhaustive. Feel free to add to it.
