For sitting CEOs
Become the CEO whose company improves itself, year after year.
A private engagement for CEOs who want an organization that improves itself, perpetually. First the people, then the organization. Leadership growth at every level, because a great organization is only ever a collection of great leaders.
Book an intro callSound familiar?
- The company performs. You know it is nowhere near what it could be.
- Improvement comes in waves, usually the ones you start, and each one fades.
- You have a strong leadership team, and three levels below them it is a different company.
- There is nobody left who will tell you the truth without an angle.
What actually changes.
- Leadership growth programs run at every level of the organization, and you did not have to run them.
- Leaders are emerging from places you were not looking.
- Improvement has stopped being a project and become how the company works.
- You have a thinking partner outside the business with no stake in the answer.
- You spend your time on the things only the CEO can do.
How it works.
People first
Start with the leaders you have. Growth at the top is what makes growth everywhere else believable.
Then the organization
Bring leadership growth to every level, in a form that fits your company rather than a template.
Keep going
Ongoing advisory as the company and the demands on you change. There is no end state, and that is the point.
Who it is for.
- Sitting CEOs and founders who have built something good and want it to become great.
- CEOs who can see the gap between their top team and the rest of the company.
- Leaders who want a confidential sounding board with no internal agenda.
And who it is not.
- CEOs looking for a turnaround. This is for companies that work and should work far better.
- Anyone who wants a fixed curriculum. This is advisory, shaped around you.
Questions.
Do I need to have been through the other programs?
It is the same path. We build you into a great leader one step at a time, and this step assumes the capabilities the earlier ones develop. Holding the CEO seat does not mean you have them. Most CEOs never built them, because nobody ever taught them. If you start here, we usually need to build you a custom program. It can be done. It takes more time and costs more. Talk to our sales team and we will work out what you need.
What does "perpetually self-improving" actually mean?
That improvement no longer needs you to start it. Leaders at every level grow the leaders below them, and the company gets better without a program or a crisis to trigger it.
How long is the commitment?
Ongoing, reviewed quarterly. You stay as long as it is working, and we will tell you if it is not.
How confidential is this?
Entirely. Nothing leaves the engagement and we do not name clients.
What does it cost?
It depends on scope and there is no rate card. We discuss it on the intro call.
Let's find out if this is a fit.
Booking a call is not a commitment to join. It is how we both work out whether CEO Optimization is the right way to close the gap in front of you.
