Description

#25 - You can’t move fast if your team doesn’t know where they’re going - or if they’re stuck waiting on you to decide everything. In this episode of Growth Activated, marketing leader and Fractional CMO Mandy Walker shares one of her most revisited leadership lessons: the importance of “laying the tracks” so your team can run.

Drawing on a powerful metaphor from a former CEO - and lessons from leading B2B marketing teams and planning her own wedding - Mandy explores how effective marketing leadership starts with clarity and ends with trust.

You'll learn:

  • 4 essential areas where marketing leaders must provide direction
  • 5 practical ways to stop being the bottleneck and build team autonomy

Whether you're leading a small startup team or a growing B2B marketing org, this episode will help you empower your people, create space to lead, and build a high-performing team that drives results - without needing you in every decision.

If you're a B2B marketing leader ready to scale your impact, this one’s for you.
