ARE YOU AN ENLIGHTENED MAN?

ARE YOU AN ENLIGHTENED MAN?

In our new book celebrating Wonder Women in marketing, one of the key take-outs is that the brave new world for exceptional marketers centres around diversity and inclusion – and specifically diversity of thinking.  It’s not about advocating an all-female future; it’s not about denigrating or being in competition with men; it’s about blending both masculine and feminine characteristics, creating gender-balanced teams, working together and being successful together.
