’Ivor has been a tremendous inspiration,’ says Sheena Forster, who
has worked at Dow Jones for ten years. Indeed, with his frank delivery
and dry sense of humour, it’s easy to see how Kelly commands such
respect.
’His management style is refreshingly direct,’ Forster continues. ’He’s
always very definite about what he wants. He also makes sure people are
trained in every aspect of the job. If they are weak in one area, rather
than criticising them for it, he works with them until they improve. He
ensures everyone works well as a team.
’Perhaps most importantly, he protects his staff to the hilt. He’s loyal
to them and gains their loyalty in return.’
