When the idea of ‘leaders in the music industry’ comes up, many people exclusively think of high-level executives on the forefront of this digital wave we’re experiencing and which continues to evolve. While those folks certainly have vision, experience, and expertise worth learning from, it can sometimes be even more eye-opening to hear from the individuals carrying out the release campaigns and dealing with the (sometimes pain-staking) day-to-day tasks involved. In this session, we’ll explore examples of earlier-career industry professionals making waves within their domains, we’ll discuss the management styles they’ve experienced which have been the most beneficial/detrimental to their leadership thus far, and we’ll hear their thoughts on where this industry is heading in 2019.
