PM360<\/em> asked Lynn Macrone, Global CEO and Founding Partner of JUICE Pharma Worldwide<\/a>, for her best pearls of leadership wisdom. She shared her advice picked up from two decades of running the full-service healthcare advertising agency.<\/p>\n

PM360:<\/em> What is your secret to making your employees\/team perform better?<\/h4>\n

Lynn Macrone: <\/strong>It\u2019s important to lean into what gets them going\u2014what excites them, how can they be in their purpose. It is not the same for everyone although in our business, I know we all feel very good about the impact we have on helping people live healthier, happier lives. And everyone at the agency plays a role in that.<\/p>\n

What was your biggest leadership failure, and what did you learn from it to make your approach better moving forward?<\/h4>\n

I have experienced failures and there are likely more in my future. But what sticks out in my mind is when I chose to avoid addressing a difficult situation, went against my gut instinct, and hoped it would miraculously resolve in due time.<\/p>\n

Instead, it mushroomed into a devasting result. I learned from that point on that I would never ignore what my gut is telling me, not for a minute. I promised myself I would address tough issues head on, no matter how uncomfortable, because had I done that originally, I could have saved the relationship and had a much better result.<\/p>\n

What was the best piece of advice or inspiration you got from another leader?<\/h4>\n

The best piece of advice I ever received was actually from my father, who was a serial entrepreneur in his early years. He said: \u201cDon\u2019t ever let anyone get in the way of your dreams.\u201d It was simple, and it reset my priorities immediately. I feel very lucky to have been given that piece of advice because it gave me the freedom and permission to just go for it unapologetically. I think about that phrase a lot and share it around whenever the opportunity presents itself.<\/p>\n

What skill do you think is the most important for a leader to have that not enough people talk about?<\/h4>\n

People don\u2019t talk enough about the importance of humility. We are in a business full of people with big personalities, people who are incredibly smart and many who are highly creative and don\u2019t follow the status quo.<\/p>\n

All of this can make for very spirited exchanges and emotions can run high, and in the process good ideas can get lost. A decent dose of humility can go a long way in protecting the relationships within a team while making sure the fragile pearls of a bold idea are captured, nurtured, and beautifully brought to life.<\/p>\n

Finally, who is the boss?<\/h4>\n

The boss calls the shots, and in our business, the boss is the \u201cBig Idea.\u201d It\u2019s the germ of a thought that emerges and takes over your consciousness completely, until it blossoms into great work. That\u2019s who\u2019s boss. We are all in the service of this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
