Specifically created for profit-and-loss-responsible executives of companies or divisions from $5 million to $100 million in revenue, this 2.5 day event brings executive skills and insights to founders and staff who have been promoted to the executive suite. The exception: a P&L responsible exec may bring select team members they wish to groom for P&L responsibility.

In our research, consulting, and coaching work, we’ve learned that in small and mid-size businesses, most top execs have limited strategic skills. While they’ve been extraordinarily successful with their past work, they’ve never acquired the required strategic skills, and are secretly overwhelmed and uncertain about what to do. The micromanaging and firefighting gobbles up their time killing profitability and scalability, limiting the company’s potential and performance.

This event delivers a perfect blend of insights, tools, and workshopping so you get what you need to be a confident, enthusiastic, and effective executive leader.

Which of These Situations Describe You?

For every $1 million in annual revenue, you’re responsible for overseeing $480 per hour of productivity. How much of a gap is there between your executive potential and your performance?

Which of these behaviors do you recognize?

• Working long hours and still the to-do list gets longer and longer
• Can’t take time off without worrying about an operational catastrophe
• Flat or declining revenues and can’t seem to get out of the slump
• Don’t know where to lead the company next
• Uncertain about leadership: regret losing your cool in front of the team
• Easily distracted and you find yourself occupied by low-value tasks
• Your email box is never empty
• Can’t get your management team to agree on a strategic plan
• Increasing competition and decreasing margins
• Incomplete or inefficient marketing or sales plans
• Can’t find enough good sales people
• Sleepless nights wondering what to do next
• Don’t know who to promote or trust with the business
• Too frequently trading family time for dealing with work emergencies

If you recognize even a few of these patterns in yourself or your leadership team, read on…

10. Firefighting tactics: how to stop the daily firefighting and turn crises into business advantage
11. Executive fundraising strategies and tactics – how to raise money for your business
12. How to communicate with every member of your team for maximum effectiveness
13. Troubleshooting strategies and tools to instantly get to the heart of the issue and how to choose the best resolution plan
14. How to know exactly how much to grow your company to hit or exceed your targets every time
15. Working with your board of directors or business council for maximum effectiveness
16. Why sales efficiency is the executive’s key focus, how to design, manage, and drive a highly profitable sales organization
17. Executive tools and applications that keep your focus on what’s most important
18. Special session: Hiring, managing, motivating and promoting Millennials – now 30% of the workforce
19. Designing your decision checklist so that you can make the best choices fast
20. Managing the business lifecycle – how to optimize your business whether you are launching, growing, optimizing, or preparing to sell it
    

Even if you’ve identified just a few of these topics that increase your executive effectiveness, imagine what it will be like when you possess these skills, bring them to your team, and use them effectively for the rest of your career.
