What’s The ROI On You Valuable CEO Time?
As a CEO or business owner, you need a competitive advantage when it comes to decision-making, especially in challenging times. As a Vistage member, you can tap the collective wisdom of peers for fresh perspectives and find answers in a global network of experts. Our proven approach to decision-making has endured for over 60 years, helping business leaders excel during the best and worst of times.
Case in point: The Great Recession. So many companies folded or just barely hung on. Survival was the focus, not growth. Yet, Vistage members grew at a rate of 5.8% on average while the competition suffered unprecedented declines. “For more than 60 years, Vistage members have helped one another overcome challenges and obstacles. At this critical time, Vistage leaders are stepping up to support one another yet again, applying insights and best practices that make their journey more successful. Leadership decisions are big differentiators with regards to thriving and surviving. The decisions leaders are making now will define their company’s long-term success.”
Trying times present the opportunity for CEOs to apply all types of new ideas, some even unearthed through CEO peer advisory groups. In fact, a recent report from McKinsey cited “harnessing the power of peer networks” as one of the top four ways CEO leadership is shifting as a result of the pandemic.The peer advisory groups Vistage facilitates allow leaders the opportunity to share the real-time learnings that come from leading a company through a pandemic, with a diverse group of members offering fresh perspectives to help problem-solve.
The group meetings are facilitated by Vistage Chairs, who are former CEOs and business owners who inherently understand the members’ challenges. Chairs serve as coaches and mentors who ask difficult questions to motivate high-impact decisions, frame issues to inspire robust discussions and critical thinking, help members drive their businesses forward, and foster collaboration to help members map out action plans.
As the world’s largest CEO coaching and peer advisory organisation for small and midsize business leaders, Vistage helps more than 23,000 CEOs, business owners and key executives worldwide reach new levels of success. Vistage CEO Sam Reese is inspired by the way Vistage members have navigated one of the biggest challenges of their careers: a global pandemic.
“The leadership journey is life-long, and Vistage members recognise they don’t need to climb on that journey alone,” Vistage CEO Sam Reese tells The CEO Magazine.
Don’t go it alone as we journey into 2023. We find ourselves at a unique intersection in history. We are consumed by daily reporting about the direction of interest rates, impacts on capital markets and the potential magnitude of a recession. This year’s economic trends will focus on the U.S. economy and variables such as growth, inflation, interest rates and the wage-price spiral.
