Today's FT article – titled When CEOs should ditch the "PR polish" – has upset a lot of people in the marketing and PR business.

It’s easy to react to the headline – coupled with parts of the article recognising Ecotricity founder Dale Vince for “bucking the trend of media-managed executives” – and assume it’s a piece bashing the whole discipline of public relations. But it’s not. On closer reading, it's ...
