Description:

CEO Forum teams, sometimes referred to as mastermind groups, have existed for over seventy-five years. Their impacts on improving companies have been chronicled by many. (reference this Vistage Group study)

CEO Forum participants elevate leadership skills and enhance decision making abilities. Members leverage the collective experiences of teammates, expanding their own potential. CEO Forum teams bring reality and accountability into focus. No one could possibly understand a CEO’s struggles better than a fellow leader that faces the same challenges.

Members embrace the notion put forth by Confucius, who professed, “real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance.”

It is lonely at the top. CEOs are never sure they get the real story. Making the decisions that materially impact the company and the careers of people, CEOs operate in an environment where it is difficult to get non-partisan information and advice. Sometimes, people irresistibly tell the CEO what they believe she or he wants to hear, which handicaps the quality of decision making.

CEOs benefit from unbiased advice emanating from peers that don’t have a personal agenda. When credible teammates weigh in with their insights and experiences, the depth and quality of decisions improves. In turn, better decision-making paves the way to improving the bottom line. CEO Forum teams are highly effective at sharing best practices, and are a great place to vet possibilities for innovation.

For a company to Play to Win, excellent leadership is required.
