I’m due to meet up soon with my old Planning Director from years ago. He’s completely changed industries, but I always thought that if he ever opened his own agency, he’s one of the few people I’ve worked with that I’d seriously consider following to a start-up.
I suppose it’s the ultimate test – do you respect/admire/trust this person enough that you’d risk leaving your job to move to a (potentially) risky start-up to work with/for them? Over the last 10 years I must have worked with over 500 people one way or another but I can only think of maybe three that I’d even think about dropping everything for and following to a start-up.
But in the very unlikely event of W+K deciding to open a Leeds outpost I’ll be beating the door down demanding a job…
