SPOTIFY GETTING CLOSER TO DIRECT LISTING?: As reported in the attached Music Business Worldwide link, its looking more and more likely that Spotify will Direct List itself on the NYSE. This move is so rare that no tech company has ever done it on Wall Street. The biggest drawback to Direct Listing is companies don’t raise any new capital because they don’t sell new stock as equity. The only benefit is that current equity holders can start reaping a payout as they sell their own stock on the open market. So why would Spotify Direct List? It comes down to their VC-derived market valuation, which now sits at a whopping $13B. If they expose themselves to a full IPO it’s very unlikely that many would buy new stock at that valuation, which would cause a major plummet in their share price all at once. Instead by Direct Listing they can let out a little bit of line at a time, and hope to control a gradual stock price decline as investors determine their true market value. Does this sound like an appealing stock opportunity to anyone? #yikes
NEXTRADIO . . . THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD(N’T): RAIN recently ran an update article on the status of NextRadio. As a quick refresher, NextRadio is the passion project of Emmis CEO Jeff Smulyan to gain industry-wide adoption of FM chips (receivers) into mobile devices. The original idea was valid – as audio consumption moves from terrestrial broadcasts to cellular/wifi delivery radio stations need to be available on these new platforms or face extinction. Since NextRadio’s launch in 2013 Smulyan & Co. have made decent strides on the supply side, by getting the chip activated on Android phones sold in the Big Four telcos. (Apple is still the notable holdout.) But the real problem for NextRadio isn’t about the availability of FM chips in mobile devices, it’s the lack of audience demand to actually listen to local radio stations on smartphones. I guess you could argue certain live sports play-by-play or long-form talk could be appealing, but not music since there are about a hundred better ways to hear your favorite songs/artists on a mobile device. Maybe that’s why NextRadio recently announced the goal of adding music streaming (besides just the stations’ simulcasts) to the platform. I think the article’s title pretty much says it all when Mr. Smulyan describes NextRadio as being in the “early stages”. What? This was created in 2013, roughly the Mesozoic era for digital streaming. If NextRadio is still stuck in the early stages after four years that doesn’t provide much optimism for the next four.
THE BENEFITS OF RADICAL CANDOR: Finally today, I’d like to leave you with some perspective on the different approaches to people leadership from an acclaimed CEO coach named Kim Scott. Her theory is that all mangers’ styles can be grouped into one of four quadrants based on two learned personality traits we’ve acquired over the years. The first trait can best be described as concern or empathy, which manifests itself in a “Care Personally” approach to management. The second trait comes from the idea of professionalism and getting the job done, which creates a “Challenge Directly” management style. Every manager’s leadership approach can be plotted along both continuums, which creates the X and Y axis of the graph below. According to Ms. Scott the ideal management approach is in the upper right “Radical Candor” section, because it combines both caring about the people on the team and the willingness to be direct with constructive criticism to help the team improve. To better understand the of value Radical Candor it helps to contrast this segment with the other three. The attached Business Insider link does a nice job summarizing the concept and explaining how each segment is interconnected. In the article Ms. Scott says the personality traits for Radical Candor are learned, meaning you don’t have to be born with the skills and can instead develop them as you become a more seasoned manager. Now I bet you’re starting to wonder where you (or your manager) would be plotted on this graph?!?
