Three CEOs synonymous with present-day adland - MediaCom CEO Willie Pang, M&C Saatchi CEO Jaimes Leggett, and Leo Burnett CEO Melinda Geertz – will come together at the AdNews Lessons In Leadership half-day event on October 24 at Monkey Baa, Sydney.
The session, entitled 3 CEOs - 3 Paths to Success will give each of the esteemed panellists the opportunity to describe their path to the c-suite, pinpointing times of success and, those less successful moments in which they learned some valuable leadership lessons.
EARLY BIRD TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE
The three CEOs will discuss what it is that drives their ambition, what parts of the role they love, and the parts that they would happily let go. They will also be asked what their switching-off mechanisms are, and if they ever feel they can switch off from such senior positions.
Finally, for all of the emerging leaders in the audience, they will reveal what they look for in future leaders at their organisations.
If your ambition is to lead our industry and drive change, this event is for you.
