"Over the last 3 years, from being heavily focused on TV advertising for a traditional media group, my team and I have helped Publicis Media Pakistan adapt to the new digital landscape. Realising that maintaining the same mentality will hold us back, we are instilling the right mindset for people to blossom and providing the infrastructure for change. People have embraced the challenge and we now have a model that allows people to work synergistically, which strengthens the team; together we can find solutions, provide resources and offer support. But we can always be better. I believe the ability to be self-critical as an individual and as a company is essential. By acknowledging problems, we can identify solutions. By asking questions, we can seek answers. By refining our strategies, we can deliver better outcomes. Criticism accelerates improvement. Most importantly, honesty builds trust and that’s the key to improving team performance and delivering results/growing as a business. Show less
