Andy Fennell and Chriz Barez-Brown on 'pots and pans' strategies, vulnerability and human leadership

Published on: 21st May, 2019
At this year's Ones to Watch, our leadership programme for rising star marketers in the industry, our chief executive, Gemma Greaves, sat down with two of our speakers, Bloom's Executive Chairman, Andy Fennell, and the Founder of Upping Your Elvis, Chris Barez-Brown. They discussed taking risks, aiming for a 9 or 10 and not a safe 7, a 'pots and pans' strategy of doing things fast and cheap to learn, betting a pig not the farm, and vulnerability and the human side of leadership and not 'bullshitting at the edges', as Andy puts it. ------------------------ Our ONES TO WATCH programme is a two-day leadership development programme exclusively for Marketing Society corporate members.
