As the CEO, you’re the chief decision maker. You can further your business by streamlining that decision making by utilizing the expertise of a Fractional Executive. 🚀 In today’s fast-paced market, making informed decisions quickly is critical. Fractional Executives bring decades of specialized experience to the table, helping you navigate complex challenges and drive growth without the full-time commitment. I recently had the pleasure of joining the Leaders of B2B Podcast, where we dove deep into how CEOs can elevate their businesses by leveraging the right expertise at the right time.

🔥 Succession Planning Tip: If you are transitioning leadership, be sure your transition checklist includes the former leader updating and transferring vendor and internal operational usernames and passcodes to new leader. This is one of the steps to ensure new leadership has a seamless transition. #SuccessionPlanning #LeadershipTransition #CharterSource #CharterSchool #MNSchools #CharterSchools #SchoolBoard

What if we called for partnership instead of accountability? When things go wrong, those in positions of authority often say, “We need more accountability.” (Karen Gimnig and I just spent two episodes of our podcast discussing this tendency.) People often hear this as “We need someone to blame for this” – and sometimes they’re right. But what if we said, “We need more partnership” instead? Barry Oshry describes partnership as “a relationship in which we are jointly committed to the success of whatever endeavor, process, or project we are engaged in.” What if we took adverse results as a signal to examine how well we’ve been supporting each other and fostering joint commitment to shared results? Would that change the tenor of these conversations? Would it make them more useful?

Timely Topics One of the distinctives of the C12 Business Forums product offering within peer advisory groups is rigorous, proprietary, MBA-credit eligible curriculum to fuel the learning portions of our forums. Content with assessments, video case studies, application guides, instructional design for peer processing is mapped out through a dynamic discernment editorial process. What's remarkable to me is how God has faithfully guided this product process for over 30 years. There are so many ridiculous examples of where we mapped out content up to a year in advance and then when it deployed it was a wildly "Just in Time (JIT)" moment. Like when we mapped out the 2020 content in late 2019 (remember how rosy 2020 looked then?), it included brand new content on things like #VUCA, leading teams when anxiety due to disruption is high, risk mitigation, caring for distressed customers and vendors, dealing with pivots in plans and more. We looked brilliant. Similarly, this fall has proven to be a great line-up in light of the lateral winds of economic factors hitting various industry sectors so differently. Check it out: August 2024 - defining Robust Good Health in all areas of the business (optimal capacity maximization) September 2024 - strategic planning for integration of Business-as-a-Ministry (#BaaM) principles and new content on how 3-5 year vision plans inform near term action planning October 2024 - Lean DIsciplines, Waste Elimination & Family as a Ministry (#FaaM) as business leaders November 2024 - delegation, maximizing contribution & creating a culture of love December 2024 - preparing clarity on 2025 plans/focus and an annual audit of integrated living, true flourishing and anchoring accountability frameworks for 2025 No matter whether your business has tailwinds or headwinds in this economic moment, the line-up is on point. Over 700 CEOs, Owners and Executives have joined local forums in 2024 already. Don't drive by braille, settle for loneliness or succumb to the idea that doing the "same ole, same ole" with extra effort will deliver excellence. Join us in pursuing how to build a great #business for a greater #purpose, together! www.joinC12.com has eligibility and access information #C12 #CEO #BusinessOwner

How I coach practice owners to consistently treat more private pay clients. It's one simple change that doesn't cost a thing 👇 Every practice has prospective clients with a range of means, needs, and values. That means some are looking for: ↳ expert, trustworthy advice ↳ a simple, inexpensive solution ↳ the best outcome, regardless of cost So with that in mind, you have two options. You can either: 1. Take it personally when everyone doesn't want your most "premium" solution OR 2. Have solutions available that serve the range of the market EGO is a big part of this. You've tied your personal value to what your clients choose to pursue (or not). Growth happens when you realize it's about them, not you...and set up your practice accordingly.
