It helps us reveal, reviews the assumptions, values and beliefs behind new ideas, and connect them with the world. Such as the duty of a company selling coffee is not just to sell more of that delicious coffee which also share the enthusiasm is in that cup of coffee.

The story often memorable for easy spreading. A CCO has stories or can reach out to people, it's easier to connect them and create a client sustainability community, rather than just know based solely on the data and tables.

2. Politician

Think for a moment about the current crop of presidential candidates. The one thing they all have in common is that they strive to be persuasive enough to rally massive amounts of citizens, each with different needs and demands, around their platform but willing to support them, help them achieve the "ballot" value.

The same can be said of the CCO. To successfully implement their customer-focused agenda, and help grow the business, they have to unite a siloed corporate citizenry around a common purpose: better-serving customers. This is not easy. The CCO needs to build a team the same opinion about the enthusiasm, dynamism, know how to comprehend customer problems to help make the plan sales strategies are powerful realism.

Both the CCO and the CEO need to share the vision of where the company is going and leverage customers as partners on the path to growth. It's not surprising that often the next job a CCO accepts is CEO.

5. Act "as customers"

Above all, the CCO needs to have customer intuition. It's about always thinking like a customer.

Through their creativity, ideas, and expertise, customers can pioneer a fundamental shift in business that's imperative for long-term growth. CCOs can spearhead the effort. They ensure the customer is designed into the company's structure, processes, and culture. 

CCOs need to know when and how to switch between roles quickly to be most effective. In today's chaotic economy, delivering on the expectations of the organization, and of customers, is the benchmark for CCO success.
