Straight talking rewarded by PR Week

PR Week Awards 2011

Last night was the PR Week Awards and there was a refreshing winner for straight talking in the form of Blackpool FC manager, Ian Holloway, as “Communicator of the Year”. I’ve always loved straight-talking managers, people like Brian Clough, for whom there was no fluff, no carefully-rehearsed clichés, no nonsense, just tell it how it is. As a Queens Park Rangers fan, I’ve always had respect for former manager Holloway. Below is classic Holloway in action. We need more of it in business and life in general.

Thanks again for a great night from PR Week. Tim Minchin was genius entertainment, although the choice of Alastair Campbell to hand out awards split opinions.
