Precarious conditions and a little bit of discomfort are par for the course for Wendy Clark – and she wouldn’t have it any other way. Her latest thrill: making the leap from senior marketer to CEO. In this episode, we talk to the global CEO of dentsu international and former Coca-Cola executive about the transition, including the massive challenge of leading an organization of 45,000 people and why “micro-knowing” is more effective than micromanaging. She also reflects on why the Great Resignation has really become “the Great Reckoning” for leaders and outlines how she’s building a more diverse workforce that considers a fully-lived life a high priority for better business.
