For our fifth season, we're focused on one theme: the relationship between CMOs and their Boards. For many CMOs, interacting with the board ranks right up there with having a root canal. But what if you could take the CMO and Board relationship and turn it from fraught to functional…. and maybe even to fantastic? We examine things like: What does the Board really want from a CMO? Which marketing metrics matter most to the Board? What are rookie mistakes that new CMOs can make when interacting with a Board? How can CMOs differentiate themselves when interviewing with the Board? We hear from a combination of CMOs and Board members, and some who are both. Join me, Erica Seidel, for The Get. You will learn a ton. The Get is a production of The Connective Good, the executive search practice focusing exclusively on recruiting the 'make money' type of marketing leaders rather than the 'make it pretty' ones.
