Create a decentralize, pod nased model appoarch and given practice areas autonomy to run their own businesses.

They control their own P&L's and owe a resource cost back to firm. Whatever they earn on top of that is theirs to use accordingly be it investment, training, bonus, hiring, etc.

Too many levels of beauracracy above those actually delivering that provide little to no value.

So if you aren't adding value then you will get cut loose.

Change the model so that there is a different practice for generalists who are not expected to become experts in anything but are competent at adapting to multiple projects. Then I would put more emphasis on ensuring that all specialists focus on building eminence in their domain or are transitioned out. The current approach puts good generalists on projects they won't succeed on and wastes opportunities for true specialists to build eminence.

I am wondering if I can see what other brands say to influencers that they reject? In the program we use we either approve them or reject them. Once they are rejected they get an email saying that they are. I have tried googling a good nice way to reject an influencer but all I get is how an influencer should reject a brand. Not a brand rejecting an influencer. We don’t want to be rude & would like to keep the door open for future collabs if they meet our standards in the future.
