Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Most CMO hires are set up to fail before day one. The root cause isn’t about talent or market conditions; it’s about early role ambiguity. Successful CMO tenures depend on explicit upfront agreement on three things: what success means, the time horizon for evaluation and what authority the CMO actually has versus the CEO. Before hiring, CEOs should write down and rank the three most important outcomes they expect from marketing in the next 18 months, along with what they’ll stop doing to give the CMO authority to execute.
