It mirrored a conversation I had with Courtney della Cava, who oversees CEO selection for Blackstone’s portfolio companies. She said stamina is among the most decisive traits in identifying leadership potential. But she defined it not in terms of hours worked but as the ability to deliver high performance consistently over time. It’s a mix of physical energy, mental resilience, and emotional bandwidth. The demands on a CEO are relentless.

To be a CEO is to serve as the company’s central power source. This role demands not just stamina but a rare combination of physical endurance, mental acuity, emotional steadiness, and strategic clarity. In my recent Fortune profile of New York Times CEO Meredith Kopit Levien, one quality surfaced repeatedly: her energy.

전통적으로 CEO 자리로 가는 길은 재무·운영·법무 부서를 거치는 것이었다. 그러나 최근엔 새로운 CEO 후보군이 등장했다. 바로 최고마케팅책임자(CMO)다. 스펜서 스튜어트(Spencer Stuart)에 따르면 포춘 250대 기업 CEO 중 마케팅 출신은 약 10%에 불과했다. 재무나 운영 출신보다 훨씬 적다. 하지만 소매·소비자기술·미디어·디지털 퍼스트 기업처럼 고객 경험과 성장이 전략의 핵심인 분야를 중심으로 CMO 출신 CEO 비중이 점차 늘고 있다. 요즘의 마케팅 리더는 단순한 브랜드 관리나 광고 집행자가 아니다. 이들은 성장·제품·고객 경험·디지털 전환·데이터 책임을 맡는다. 역할이 확장돼 ‘최고성장책임자(CGÔ)’, ‘최고고객책임자(CCO)’, ‘매출총괄사장’ 같은 하이브리드 직함까지 두르고 있다. 자연히 CEO 후보로서의 조건을 갖추게 되는 거다. 구체적 사례도 잇따른다.
