Oprah Winfrey Is Learning How To Work With Others

Now that�she?s a retired talk show host,�Oprah Winfrey is taking a more hands on role in running her cable network, OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network).� Because she was still filming her last season of The OprahWinfrey Show, Oprah has admittedly�been ?all in with one foot out the door? which has led to a few bumps during OWN?s launch, including low ratings.� Another aspect of running her own network is working with others and stated:

?Over the years I had complete control,? she said. ?It?s a little harder making� a judgment as to what other shows can do. It?s about finding your particular flow and being able to connect to it.?

Cable executives�have expressed�that�Winfrey had�an intuitive management style that worked well for her TV show, but a cable channel ?needs more organizational discipline.?� And it seems like she?s acknowledged this, hiring�Discovery Communications�COO Paul Ligouri to help run the network.
