I love learning about people who are making a comeback in
the entertainment industry. Today I want to highlight Tyler Perry. I must admit
this is not really a comeback, but it is a new project that puts Tyler back on
the top of the charts again.
I follow Tyler Perry to learn how he connects to his
audience electronically and constantly gets the job done in the entertainment
industry. Although my career will focus more in music than he focuses in film,
his leadership is still an example. He has strong faith in God and pushes past
the negative to get amazing results.
Recently Tyler Perry’s movie Good Deeds
landed in the #2 slot on the movie box
office charts on its opening weekend. I watched most of his televised
interviews in promoting the film. He was honest in revealing his fear of being
vulnerable in this role. See his comments in this clip.
This is a role that is an opposite character than the other
roles he normally portrays. I saw the movie Good Deeds on opening weekend and
in my opinion he and his cast did a GREAT job! I hope you see it too, if you
haven’t already.
I also noticed some of his press interviews posted online.
One of the blogs I follow called Urban Daily posted Tyler Perry’s interview with Fox TV’s Kevin McCarthy. During this interview, Tyler
Perry explained why he did not arrange for film critics to review his movie
Good Deeds. I loved his answer here.
It is powerful when you can get to a point where you don’t
need critic reviews to enhance the sales of your product. I commend Tyler Perry
for learning the game and succeeding without the traditional methods in the
industry. As I am learning about what it takes to be an effective leader and
successful project manager I look up to Tyler Perry even more.
Clearly Tyler Perry is being responsible in project manager
duties otherwise we would not witness his success in stage plays, cable TV
shows and 14 chart topping films. I am sure that his production team is a major
help for his project management duties, but they are under his leadership. I can
imagine his step-by-step process in identifying the opportunities from his
ideas to the project solutions to the execution of the project, the end result.
This man is definitely doing something right.
