Katie Lee: How to Create Healthy Growth
Manage episode 419418760 series 3554243
This episode features Katie Lee - former CEO of Lucky Generals and now Chief Operating Officer of Wavemaker, the WPP media agency. Together, we explore the differences between healthy and unhealthy growth.
As a case in point, Katie shares her experience of how agencies often confuse growth with strategy, which in turn leads to unhelpful - and unhealthy - places. So if you recognise her definition of the ‘danger zone’ that this creates, then consider her wisdom a wake-up call.
We also delve deeper into the importance of role modelling and how that enables future leaders to feel empowered. And if you’ve lost your new-business mojo, Katie shares her view on how to get it back.
Finally, this being The Immortal Life of Agencies, no episode would be complete without a clear view on how to make our industry a more joyful place to be.
