The Independent Agency Mindset - John Harris, CEO

John Harris is CEO and President of Worldwide Partners. Worldwide Partners is a network of 72 independent agencies in 40 countries. It has existed since 1938. One thing that makes Worldwide Partners interesting is that the agencies own the network - the network doesn’t own the agencies. John helps make it work and, insodoing, he has great insight into the minds, needs, and trends of the independent agency. We discuss: - CEO and President - What exactly are these roles? - How an independent network works - The psychology of people who run independent agencies - Why people set up agencies - Trends with new independent agencies You can find John here https://www.linkedin.com/in/netharris and Worldwide Partners here https://www.worldwidepartners.com/ For more strategy talk: 1.
