💡 What advice would you give adland’s new incoming CEOs? Our Managing Partner, Natalie Napier spoke to Campaign UK and shared her advice for adland's new agency leaders: "Without a doubt the past few years have been tough in adland – everyone has been navigating uncertainty and people have arguably worked harder than ever before. Despite these challenges the industry needs to have faith in the enormous value that it brings, and new CEOs should lead with confidence and belief in this. They have an opportunity to bring the swagger back and should be on the front foot with communicating the vision and belief they have in their agency both externally and internally – teams need to feel that confidence and inspiration. Of course, clients are the cornerstone of any agency and for new CEOs there is a unique window of opportunity in the early days to listen to them and allow them to speak openly. CEOs who make client conversations a priority in their first few weeks can positively capitalise on this." #agency #agencyceo #campaignuk #agencyleaders #leadershiptalent

Today, three founders of great agencies are joining me on a 3-month journey. The first ever Transformational Quarter programme. We'll collaborate closely on identifying valuable problems to solve, designing mini-missions to solve them, and then delivering the transformation — all in one quarter. Throughout it all we'll use the frameworks and toolkits I've developed over the last 4 years of research (and the 20 years of agency leadership experience before that!) This isn't a programme to pump revenues ahead of an exit, it's all about mindfully designing our businesses to be healthy and sustainable. Agencies that we love working in, and are proud to own. This first programme sold out in under two weeks, and there's now a waitlist for the second one starting in January (on which there'll be 6 places). I'll share a bit about the journey over the next few months. Let's go! 😎 #agency #agencyfounders #agencyleadership #agencyowners #agencygrowth

🌟 4 months ago, I had the privilege of receiving "Good to Great" by Jim Collins, a gift from a C-level colleague. Diving into this book📖, I was eager to explore its insights through the lens of e-commerce leadership. Here’s what I learned and how it’s reshaping our strategy: 🚩 Level 5 Leadership: The concept of a leader who combines humility with professional will is powerful. In e-commerce, this translates into leading by example and putting the success of the team and company ahead of personal accolades. 🚩 First Who, Then What: Getting the right people on our team is crucial before we decide on the direction to take. We've applied this by aligning our hiring practices to ensure we not only fill roles with skilled individuals but with those who fit our company culture and share our vision. 🚩 Confront the Brutal Facts: Transparency about where we stand in the market has opened up more meaningful strategies for growth. We've embraced the use of data analytics to gain a realistic picture of our performance and make informed decisions. 🚩 The Hedgehog Concept: Simplifying our focus to what we can be best at, what drives our economic engine, and what our team is deeply passionate about has refined our strategic initiatives, making them more impactful. 🚩 Culture of Discipline: Rigor in business processes while encouraging innovation has significantly boosted our operational efficiency. This balance is essential for sustaining growth and scalability in the volatile world of e-commerce. 🚩 Technology Accelerators: As an enthusiast of tech-driven solutions, I've leveraged technology not just for the sake of innovation, but as accelerators to our 'Hedgehog Concept', enhancing customer experience and operational excellence. Collins' book is not just about going from good to great in business but also about applying these principles consistently and diligently in the e-commerce sector. I look forward to continuing to apply these lessons to lead our team towards remarkable growth and sustained excellence☀️. A special thanks to Blake Dent for gifting me this insightful book! What book has significantly shaped your professional approach? I’d love to hear your thoughts! #eCommerce #Leadership #BusinessStrategy #GoodToGreat
