EXCLUSIVE: ABC News President Kim Godwin has been shopping around a book about leadership, Confider has learned, just days after a bloody round of layoffs that seemed to target staffers she felt were insufficiently loyal to her, multiple sources told us.
Another week, another trove of juicy stories from inside ABC News President Kim Godwin’s “reign of error,” as one network source described it.
Godwin, who joined ABC promising to clean up the culture, has told friends that writing a book is on her bucket list and that she has spoken to at least one publisher about it, according to two people familiar with the matter. One irritated ABC News executive quipped to Confider: “If Kim is writing a book on leadership, it’ll be the size of a pamphlet.”on Godwin’s right-hand man Jose Andino, who has the curiously verbose title of “Vice President—Office of the President and Process Management.
Andino has left fellow ABC News execs astounded with a series of gaffes. For example, when it was announced Bob Iger would return to run Disney, Andino asked several colleagues why the news division would be of any concern to the iconic CEO who began his career at ABC nearly 50 years ago and rose to oversee every aspect of the company’s television business, including news.
