Can A Roadie Become An Executive Coach? This Guest Did And Tells How He Did It!
If you’re a kid who likes good music and a good time, you could do worse than to grow up in NYC in the mid-1950s and ‘60s. For my Pamela's Place first hour guest Friday 4/4/14 Ed Kleinman, who has always loved blues, jazz, folk, rock and new-wave punk, it was an unprecedented time and place in history.
“On an off night, in one club alone, you might see Bob Dylan stroll in and do a set, or Van Morrison, Ritchie Havens – just about anyone who was around; Ed remembers Jimi Hendrix playing for three days at the Café Au Go Go after he quit playing as the opening act on the Monkees’ tour. Ed eventually went to work as a roadie for some of rock and roll’s biggest legends. He discusses his 18-year trip in his new book, now featured in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s library, titled “Joint Venture … A Backstage Rock and Roll Journey,”
Ed Kleinman eventually became a manager of bands, including The Stranglers, an English punk rock band that accomplished 23 UK top 40 singles and 17 UK top 40 albums. He would also rub elbows with the industry’s biggest names, including John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
Eventually,Ed Kleinman parlayed his people and management skills into the corporate world and became an executive coaching entrepreneur. The most salient theme that he’s been able to deduce throughout from his diverse careers? The importance of performance.
“Whether you’re a rock star, roadie, sales manager or school bus driver, you need to be on your game,” he says. “Everyone is working for some kind of audience, so why wouldn’t you want to rock it each time out?”
Ed Kleinman spent 18 years working on the road with bands, starting out as a roadie, then becoming a tour manager and, finally, owning his own entertainment management company. The lessons he learned in the music industry helped him become successful in the business of executive coaching in the sales force arena.
