What John Wren’s note has proven today (in case anyone still had any lingering doubts) is that agencies and their leadership have no real power.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

I would argue that the leadership of the Holdup companies have plenty of power and money, but no real long term business planning discipline. Your average agency level CEO that falls under the Holdup company has little to no true decision making power.

How do you deal with a manager who always blame you for actions that the manager instructed me to do in the past? E.g. manager reviews client decks with you and instructs to just note a strict budget to report. After a week, manager rereads the same deck and blames me for not supporting the budget that was added per the manager’s request. We always have this situation, no matter how much I ask for clarity in any internal reviews. I even sent back the emails and slack chats as an attachment.
