Patton's company has
developed eight competencies that top leaders must have: customer orientation, results orientation, market knowledge, team leadership, organizational development, collaboration and influencing, change
leadership and strategic orientation.
"Outstanding CMOs outperform good CMOs in all eight competencies, he writes. "But by far the biggest gaps are in results orientation and change leadership, where outstanding CMOs score a full point higher on our scale than good CMOs." The bottom line is that great CMOs drive uncompromisingly for better outcomes, no matter what.
