How to Succeed by Building Company and Customer Value

What makes an effective and successful marketing leader? The authors of this groundbreaking book conducted a worldwide study with profiles of more than 68,000 business leaders—and discovered 12 essential traits that can make or break your success. The 12 Powers of a Marketing Leader is the first and only leadership book for marketers based on anything like this level of research evidence.

THE 12 POWERS OF A MARKETING LEADER is based on a groundbreaking global study sponsored by McKinsey, London Business School, and INSEAD. Thomas Barta, former McKinsey partner, led the study to research and profile more than 68,000 marketing leaders in more than 120 countries. He and Patrick Barwise, emeritus professor at London Business School, also interviewed for this book dozens of CEOs and CMOs, Marshall Goldsmith, and many others. The results of the study and interviews are often surprising, and the authors have deftly turned the lessons from the study into prescriptive strategies that marketers at any level can use to increase revenue and relevance at their companies and in the business world at large.
