| No Comment |  To quote an oft used cliché: the winds of change are blowing through the industry. There seems to be a new energy in many of our industry associations, as the pace increases to equitable transformation. The Marketing Federation of South Africa (MFSA), in particular, has loudly proclaimed its intention to serve the industry and has asked for '100 days' to prove its case. Good luck to Dee Blackie and her exco. It's about time there was some straight talking on the issues simmering under the surface and a recognition that the process cannot achieve success without industry buy in and the involvement of key stakeholders. The clock is ticking...
Have a good one! Louise Marsland, Editor, editor@bizcommunity.com

Marketing | | The MFSA asks for "100 days" to refloat the boat
[Louise Marsland] In a wide-ranging interview, after a week of countrywide road shows to bring 'Mission MFSA' to stakeholders in major centres, the MFSA's new Chair of its new Executive Committee, Dee Blackie, is adamant that the engines have started and that the Marketing Federation is on course to deliver to a market that is rather cynical following on the torrid politicking and schisms of the past 18 months since the MFSA umbrella body for the industry was launched.

The absence of emotional intelligence is not a USP
[Dr Kay Brügge]  The Allan Gray TV ad has the following pay-off line: "Human beings are ruled by emotions. It defines who we are. We (meaning Allan Gray) disregard emotion. We research everything. Then we invest". This is a regrettable and poorly researched basis for an advertisement, when emotional intelligence (EQ) is increasingly being recognised as a critical component of superior performance.
