The Brand-Driven CEO demonstrates how senior leadership can use their brand to align and guide the behaviors, decisions, and operations of their entire organization in order to drive value. David Kincaid delivers practical assessments and game plans for senior executives and managers across functional areas, clarifying the confusion between brand and marketing management. He introduces the "New 4Ps" of brand management: People, Process, Intellectual Property, and Partnerships. This paradigm shift equips business leaders with a new approach to managing growth, profitability, risk, and sustainable value.

Using real-life, current case studies from today’s fastest growing and most valuable brands – including Starbucks, Apple, and BMW – this book reveals the critical importance of managing big businesses as integrated business systems. The Brand-Driven CEO includes criteria to conduct your own brand self-assessment and a stepby-step roadmap that can be applied to help transform your brand and its management.

As leaders, we all need to ask ourselves those questions that focus on the deepest elements of strategy.

I have seen the benefit of David Kincaid's approach to brand-asset management in two different service industries. Embedding brand-asset management into a company's strategy builds a culture of collaboration, ownership, and accountability. David's book provides CEOs with a step-by-step process that requires leadership at the top levels and allows for continuous improvement as customers' needs change. It is a great journey that value-driven CEOs should embrace to build their company's resilience and sustainability for the future.
