Sally Henderson with Nicky Bullard on what two of the hardest calls of her career taught her about how you make high stakes decisions

Nicky Bullard is a Chief Creative Officer, creative activist and founder of Elevator, the UK's only creatively led intermediary for creative pitches. She was also one of the first female creative leaders in the UK to take on full P&L responsibility when she stepped into the chairwoman role at MRM. In this episode of The How of High Performance, she shares what it was like to weigh up the risk of proving that creative people could be credible business leaders against the possibility of getting it wrong and closing that door for others. Nicky talks about why she believes you don't need to be brilliant at everything as long as you fill the gaps with people who are, and the simple habit she comes back to every time someone pulls the rug from under her.
