Are you flexible when unseen events hit but still remain true to your core principles?
Are you out to conquer the next mountain or are you happy to just do a great job?
At the Marketing Society’s inaugural Question Time debate of 2010 we hear how some of the UK’s most successful entrepreneurs do it – a spirit that drives some of the very best marketing in all companies today.
