You can’t “ing” your way to winning. At least, that’s how Latane Conant, CRO of 6Sense, sees it. For her, leadership isn’t about cranking out activities - it’s about shaping markets, chasing causes instead of jobs, and finding ways to make the work actually fun.
In this episode, Lindsay talks with Latane about why she calls herself a Chief Market Officer, what it really takes to create product-market fit, and why she believes anything worth doing is worth overdoing. Latane shares her no-nonsense, energetic take on building teams, leading with clarity, and bringing a sense of beauty and joy into the mix.
You’ll hear them discuss:
Why “anything worth doing is worth overdoing” has become Latane’s phrase
The real difference between activity-based marketing and market-shaping leadership
Why product-market fit is everything and why you can’t just execute your way past it
How to think about category creation vs. category evolution
Latane’s view on cause vs. job, and why she refuses to settle for the latter
