AdAge - CMOs Unlock Growth by Building Agile Organisations

In an increasingly disruptive world the key challenge facing CMOs is to create an agile organization that will help individuals to leverage their full potential. Looking for qualities like curiosity, insight, engagement and determination is critical.

Leading agility was also the key theme at this year’s recent Kellogg Marketing Leadership Summit where Egon Zehnder’s Amanda Roberts, Kristi Maynor and Cynthia Soledad polled over 80 CMOs on building marketing teams based on leadership potential and creating a culture that unleashes innovative thinking (read more about the presentation and CMO survey results here).
