With Thomas Barta. The new year is always a time when we think about our careers, goals, development plans. So what better time to have author of the #1 leadership book for marketers: The 12 Powers of a Marketing Leader Thomas Barta join me. For his book Thomas carried out the world’s largest study - involving over 68,000 assessments – on what makes for a successful change leader. Before writing his book Thomas had a marketing leadership role at Kimberly-Clark (Kleenex) before becoming a partner of McKinsey. As a dean of the firm’s highest-rated internal program, Thomas trained over a thousand McKinsey leaders on driving change without authority. Thomas has given hundreds of change keynotes and masterclasses for companies, associations, and universities--including Adobe, Cisco, Google, IBM, SAP, and Advertising Week and is the leadership dean of the Marketing Academy CMO Fellowship and a Honorary Fellow of The Marketing Society. Today we chat about Thomas’s path into marketing, how being good at marketing is only part of the job we have as marketers, what are the tools we need to manage in this world and to be effective, how to get ideas through an organisation and the importance of operating in the value creation zone.
