Successful producer Magi Halvadjian won bass against Slavi Trifonov more than 15 years ago. They both bet on whose method of management is more correct – with respect and a firm hand, which Slavi held, or again with respect, but also with positive motivation. They bet $ 100 each. Subsequently, Halvadjian interpreted as a victory the secession of emblematic figures from Slavi Trifonov’s entourage and their desire to take on a new professional path. However, he never saw the $ 100, because it was during this period that they spent it.
The two began working together in 2001. Halvadjian directed some of Slavi’s most iconic videos, including “Living Wound” in a duet with Georgi Milchev-Godzhi, “Jovano, Jovanke” and others. Along with work, a friendship develops and, of course, on Halvadjian’s birthday, the future politician comes with Evgeni Dimitrov-Maestro from the “Ku-Ku Band”. The party was in a restaurant in Sofia. All of Maggie’s employees were present, as well as his friends. Slavi was sitting next to him and they were talking when at one point some of the guests started talking on the microphone “cool things for the birthday”.
Slavi listened, listened, and then he looked at me and said, “Abe, are these all anointing you all? Why do they say such things ?! “, Magi Halvadjian told about the incident during his participation in the podcast” Pri Toto “of half of the rap duo” SkandaU “. Magi was surprised. Why should they flatter him? He is friends with all his employees. Slavi disagreed: “No, at the first problem you have in the company, everyone will leave you. All those who get fat there and now are talking about these things because they have some kind of scam. That’s why they behave like that. “
Halvadjian was angry because he always thought that people worked with him because they liked it. His approach was to find a way to motivate, even manipulate, when “someone stumbled like a donkey on a bridge, against even his own interest.” The producer of some of the most successful shows on the national air believes that a good leader must convince with words. If a person understands why something is good for him, if you are convincing enough, Maggie believes, then in his work he will give 120% of himself. The reason is that he understands why he does it. And when you just order him, he does not understand what he is doing and will not give his heart in this work.
Maggie Halvajian has always followed this philosophy. On the night in question, more than 15 years ago, at his birthday party, he tried to explain his views to Slavi. “There are two ways to work. You have chosen this one. I tell you that if there is no firm hand, at the slightest problem people will leave you,” Slavi replied.
Maggie disagreed: “Bass, yours will leave you first, because you run this way. We caught $ 100 on bass then … Shortly afterwards, his one by one started to leave. But he never He didn’t give me that $ 100 because we broke up and I never saw it. Now we’ve warmed up. He’s right that there are two ways to run a company and one is respectful and fearful and the other is with respect, but also with motivation. I think my way is better and more correct “, shared Magi Halvadjian.
