Helpful Harold
Nice to see that Harold Mitchell – boss of Mitchell Communication Group – is using his weekly column in the Sydney Morning Herald only for good.
A fortnight ago, his rivals at WPP were lucky enough to have him dedicate his column to offering the benefit of his experience. His advice to Group M negotiating boss James Parkinson was that media owners were “reacting badly to being treated like an underclass”. He advised:
“For Group M, Parkinson’s Law as applied to negotiation is not working.”
Dr Mumbo is certain that Parkinson will have found the advice a useful insight.
Was that in “Harold dollars” or Aussie dollars?
Sour grapes over the Fed Gov win??
Harold Mitchell reminds me of Grandpa Simpson… “So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ’em. “Give me five bees for a quarter,” you’d say”
