CarTalk with Kartik #261: Alignment Before Acceleration

CarTalk with Kartik #261: Alignment Before AccelerationWhy does our marketing feel busy but not impactful? That’s the question one of the CEOs I work with asked me recently. Having worked with over 50 CEOs, fueling millions in revenue growth, here’s my answer.When everything is a priority, nothing is. The fastest-growing companies use clear KPIs and simple OKRs to create focus, alignment, and accountability. Not activity metrics. Impact metrics. Messaging, launches, and enablement must tie directly to business outcomes. When teams know what success looks like and track it consistently, trust increases, decisions speed up, and results compound.Clarity beats chaos. Discipline beats busyness. So focus on alignment before acceleration.This insight comes from page 230 of my bestselling business book Product Marketing Wisdom.
