Success is a Team Effort but the Artist is the One Who Often Sabotages their Own Career Episode 615: It takes a team to succeed, but often the artist themselves or their immediate team, such as a manager, are the ones that do more to sabotage a career. Be careful pointing fingers at everyone else for failure. Just because you are the boss doesn’t mean you are the expert. A real leader surrounds themselves with people who are experts in areas they are not. They will listen and take advice and in the end they will look better because of who they are surrounded by. https://lnkd.in/gS6J7WkE #musicmarketing #albumpromotion #tourpromotion #michaelbrandvoldmarketing #contentstrategy #digitalstrategy #musicbizweeklypodcast #musicbiz
