Last week, we met with 180 leaders at The Legence Leadership Summit, which was focused on professional growth, finding the development sweet spot, and maximizing it to the fullest. We heard from CEO Jeffrey Sprau, who shared a pivotal moment in his career that shaped the leader he is today. His story demonstrated the value of intentional growth and seizing those transformative moments that define long-term success. This summit wasn’t just about conversations—it was about putting ideas into action, guided by the 70-20-10 model of development, described by talent and organizational development leader Chelsea Wever, SPHR: 🪴 70% through on-the-job experiences, where real growth happens. 🙌 20% by learning from others—mentors, peers, and leaders at every level 📒 10% through formal education, equipping leaders with the right tools to thrive My mom always said, "The best classroom is usually the person sitting right next to you." This is the 20% of learning. 🫶 Leaders across Legence invested weeks of preparation to ensure they were prepared to lead impactful discussions and translate The Predictive Index's powerful insights into action. These conversations weren’t just inspiring—they generated tangible next steps. The energy throughout was electric, underscoring the value of leadership development—because success isn’t stumbled upon; it’s built with purpose, effort, and collaboration. #LeadershipDevelopment #702010Model #DynastyCulture #LegenceLeadershipSummit #DevelopmentSweetSpot #Teamwork

Founder-CEOs vs. Non-Founder-CEOs: It's not what you think. Paul Graham's post on 'founder mode' last week and Pitchbook's data showing that founder-CEOs create value at 22.4% velocity, compared to 4.7% for non-founder-CEOs, confirms there's a there here. But I don't think it's about founders vs. managers. I think it's about authenticity and vision. Founder-CEOs are the ultimate embodiment of the purest iteration of the mission and values of the company. They lead with a deep sense of purpose, will not let anyone stand in the way of that, and this creates authenticity resonates throughout the organization. Think about it. It's not just about hitting KPIs, but about making a mark on the world. This results in higher engagement, innovation, and ultimately, value creation. Example: A manager might focus on quarterly sales, whereas a founder believes so much in their product that the quarterly sales goals, although important, is just one milemarker on the road ahead to their product changing the world. The key takeaway? All leaders should drink from the firehose of authenticity and vision offered by their founder ( that is, if they are still around!). And, if the found is not around. Then the management team is obligated to spend far more time and effort owning and holding the company accountable to the mission, vision, and values of the company. Agree? How can you infuse more authenticity into your leadership team's approach? ⚡️ #Leadership #Transformation #Strategy #Founder PitchBook
