CMO's who thrive.

Let us face it, CMO's have always been in the line of fire. In today's chaotic world the pressure is even more than before.?Consumer loyalty is diminishing, competition is ever increasing, and the only constant is...well, constant change.

CMOs now need to ditch the suit and embrace chaos! It is important that CMO's?wear their?entrepreneurial hat to drive growth through strategic disruption now even more than before.?As an analogy, I might say that this is no more like steering?the marketing ship anymore, it is like building a whole new ship which is sleek, agile, and ready to navigate the uncharted waters of the modern market.

So, what's a marketing leader to do? It is time to ditch the status quo and embrace the entrepreneurial spirit.

The three key elements that will ensure this are -

1) Embracing Curiosity:

Great CMO's are great learners. They are shameless to admit that they don't know something and are eager to learn.?They are?fueled by the need to ask questions and dig deep to understand what endures and what needs to change not only within their organizations but in?the marketplace as such. They actively learn from both successes as well as failures, connecting dots amidst shifting goalposts in real-time and don't care about yesterday's playbook.

2) Cultivating Creativity:

Today CMO's need to be strategic, they also need to have a healthy risk-taking appetite. They should be open to experimenting, pushing boundaries and innovating to find the ideal solutions. They need to know how to use creativity as their secret weapon in reshaping brands, businesses, and even?cultural narratives. Their thinking needs to transcends convention. Disrupting for disruption's sake is a dead end. True innovation lies in capturing demand and driving sustainable growth.

3) Adapting Relentlessly

We are in an era of extraordinary change. CMO's must be ready to face curveballs - circumstances far beyond their control. They must be ready to influence what they can while adapting to what they cannot, making real-time decisions amidst fragmented audiences and organisational complexities. Adaptability is every CMO's superpower, enabling them to thrive in strange, ever-shifting times.

The key to fostering this entrepreneurial spirit starts with your team. Building a culture of curiosity, creativity, and relentless adaptation is the first step.
