Are you one of those CEOs, presidents or senior executives who from time to time undergo personality development programs or training sessions and workshops but are yet not satisfied with the results you get? Though some of these programs are really useful, many a time you may also find that you end up with a lot of academic knowledge but gain little in terms of practical solutions for real business problems.
Especially, small and medium sized companies go through problems and challenges that may be peculiar to companies that have smaller sized manpower, resources and reach compared to larger companies. These companies, and especially their business owners and CEOs need practical, hands-on solutions from people who have been there and done that. In other words, people who have faced similar kind of problems are best placed to offer solutions that actually work and not just look smart on the drawing board.
This is why a growing number of CEOs of small and medium sized companies are turning to CEO Clubs or CEO peer groups. So what make these CEO associations or CEO clubs different from other executive programs?
Firstly, such CEO associations are not academic or theoretical. Here you get practical and realistic solutions from other CEOs who do not have any personal agenda behind advising you or are not depending on academic theories. These are people who will give you honest, no-holds-barred insights and suggestions, at times really blunt, but useful and workable nonetheless.
Besides these CEO corporate associations provide a platform to CEOs to share their frustrations, problems, interests openly with the other CEOs. By being part of a CEO club you don't beat around the bush. Rather you get to share your business problems without any hesitation and the best part is that whatever you discuss with your peers remain confidential and never gets leaked out of the CEO club.
Another good part of a CEO association is that only CEOs from non-competing business are allowed in one group. Direct rivals or competitors are not allowed to be a part of one CEO club. So that makes it easy and convenient for members to share their fears and strategies freely.
So whether you want to sell your business or plan to start a new business or adopt a new strategy to push your sales; a CEO club is one of the best and most affordable executive coaching programs you can attend to gain useful guidance and solutions directly from the experts.
