Kevin Roberts has a dream. And dreams, he once quipped, "are about reaching for the stars, not counting them. Martin Luther King did not say, 'I have a vision statement'." As CEO Worldwide of Saatchi & Saatchi, Roberts doesn’t just talk the talk when he says he believes in "the unreasonable power of creativity." In this interview with IESE Prof. Johanna Mair conducted at the World Business Forum in New York, Roberts lives up to his reputation for having a positive, inspirational leadership style that is clearly contagious.
