Motown #4: What most strongly predicts leadership?

This video looks at good and bad examples of leadership at Motown records during the Detroit era (1959 - 1972).

We'll see three examples where the leaders at Motown made very good decisions. This is driven by the facts that the founders and leaders at Motown were able to do the job at the ground level. They could truly walk the walk. We'll hear some examples of that in this video.

However, the leadership at Motown Records also had some well publicized missteps, and we'll look at those, too. These include issues with artists claiming they were not paid correctly (and ultimately not able to come to agreement so they left Motown records), and several stars who made unhealthy choices and were simply let go by Motown Records. We'll look at David Ruffin and Florence Ballard as examples.

There is a lot to learn here, both good and bad, from the leadership at Motown records.
