"There is no White Knight coming to save you." My former boss Lindsay Pattison said this to me recently, and it landed hard. Lindsay was global CEO of Maxus, part of Mark Read's core WPP team, running a global agency network at what she calls "200 miles an hour." At that speed, you don't have time to question whether you're going in the right direction. You just go. Until the day she realized: this pace was making decisions for her. So she did something radical. She chose to pause. Not because she had to. Because she wanted agency over what came next. The conversation we had about this decision is one of the most honest I've recorded. It's about: * What it really means to have agency when you're at the top (it's not what you think) * The responsibility that comes with leadership that nobody talks about * How to make massive life decisions without certainty * What happens when you stop running and start choosing This is exactly why I'm launching the new series Mojo Under Fire - conversations about the crucible moments that forge great leaders Remember to subscribe to be notified about new episodes.

Directed by Andrew Dominik (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford), it tells the story of Mark “Chopper” Read, Australia's most notorious criminal, self-mythologising psychopath and folk hero rolled into one.Part prison horror, part dark comedy, Chopper opens with its antihero stabbing a rival inmate 15 times for crossing a line, and somehow only escalates from there. Over 90 intense minutes, we follow his chaotic life of stabbings, betrayals, botched kidnappings and baffling logic — punctuated by moments of grim humour and unexpected lucidity.In this episode we get into: 

WPP announced this month that Microsoft executive Cindy Rose will succeed outgoing chief executive Mark Read. Rose is currently chief operating officer, global enterprise, at Microsoft and will be WPP's third CEO and the first female leader of a major agency holding company. The announcement, which came sooner than expected, came one day after the holding company issued a shock profit warning to the stock market, and follows major losses for WPP including the Mars account and a portion of the Coca-Cola business.Analysts have responded to the appointment saying that the Rose era “has to be transformational” and “WPP knows it needs a reboot”.In this episode, the Campaign editorial team will discuss the reaction to Rose's appointment, what WPP needs from its new CEO, or whether WPP is “too far gone” as former CEO Sir Martin Sorrel has suggested. The chat features Campaign's editor in chief Gideon Spanier, editor Maisie McCabe and deputy media editor Shauna Lewis.

Group M, the world's largest media buying group, has undergone a titanic course correction and "simplification", re-emerging as WPP Media. While the destination "makes sense", according to Campaign's editor-in-chief Gideon Spanier, the reorganisation is coming at a huge cost to those that work there.In February this year, The Campaign Podcast asked 'What is Group M?' and in the three months since, the group has merged agency brands into a single P&L, got rid of agency specific jobs titles and begun making roles redundant around the world.

We sat down with former Asia-Pacific CEO of Ogilvy PR, Scott Kronick, who is indisputably the father of modern PR in China. Scott lived in China for 29 years and is easily one of the longest serving agency leaders, foreigner or Chinese, in the China ad business. What's it going to take for Chinese brands to go abroad? This is the question we asked Scott, who's been behind the effort to take many successful and large-scale brands outside of China. China used to be about cheap goods, but now it represents attributes largely unknown back when Scott first came to China. Scott is now a Senior Advisor for Ogilvy PR, as well as the author of the book, "The Lighter Side of China". He's also an Adjunct Professor at Beijing University. 1.

Edited highlights of our full conversation. Here's a question. How much do you know about what's happening at your company?  This week's guest is Mark Read, the CEO of WPP. At last month's Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, WPP was named the most creative company of the year. He took over the role in 2018 from WPP's founder, Sir Martin Sorrell, in one of the most publicized and dramatic changes in leadership the advertising and marketing industries have ever seen.  Taking the company from those turbulent times to one of relative stability and success has required a realistic, pragmatic approach. Leadership of any creative business is a balancing act. Between dreams and reality. Belief and skepticism. The known and the unknown.  Where you are on each of those scales depends on circumstances that can change by the day and sometimes faster than that. Which means sometimes you have to make decisions based on instinct. That's fine, to a point. But as flawed human beings, even the best leaders are sometimes let down by their instincts.  When you're looking for a place from which to start the process of deciding what happens next, I have found that the best leaders prefer to begin with the truth. As Mark says, when you're in charge, that's often difficult to find.  But if you're going to build scalable, sustainable success, finding out what's really happening is a critical starting point.  That might be difficult and sometimes painful in the short run. And a lot of leaders by-pass it because it makes life more complicated for a while.  But starting with the truth pays for itself in big and small ways. Including in your ability to look yourself in the mirror.

After decades in prison, Mark Read vows to go straight. He swaps bullets for words, becoming an author, a musician, even having his life story hit the silver screen. But old habits die hard. Read was never far from trouble, bouncing back in and out of jail. For every offense he's convicted of, he's suspected of a dozen more. Some of these he denies outright, some appear as stories in his books. The tales he saves for the end call everything that's come before into question. We already knew he was a bad man – but there's no doubt, his last performance is his most explosive. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
