FAQ’s about our Leadership Board

This is a mutual journey. During the vetting process, you will have the chance to ask the hard questions about your investments in time and dollars and how to measure your ROI. Likewise, we will want to know not just what you do, but who you are and how you can contribute to your peers around the table.

What size and types of companies are on the Leadership Board?

No hard and fast rules, but pre-revenue companies are generally not a fit. Most of the members of the board will be growing significantly year over year. No “lifestyle” companies. We pride ourselves on a strong mix of product and service businesses. We are currently looking for leaders of technology companies, manufacturing and distribution companies, real estate and development, financial services, construction, and transportation companies. You will be surrounded by companies that have strong leadership teams and from 20-1000 employees from privately-held, for-profit and not-for-profits organizations.

I am the VP of Sales. Can I join the Board?

Unfortunately, not the Leadership Board. We do have groups and other programs for leaders like yourself.

We are not running EOS or one of the other systems you mentioned. Can I be on the Board?

If you are “winging it,” probably not. The Leadership Board believes that structure matters. Structure equals weekly effective team meetings, accountable yearly/quarterly goals, clear scorecards, and focus on core values and mission. There are many strong frameworks we did not mention in the video, like the 4 Dimensions of Execution, Rockefeller Habits, systems from Patrick Lencioni or Jim Collins. All would be a fit for members of the Board. Even if you have your own framework, you might qualify to be on the Board.

How do I measure the value of being on the Leadership Board?

That is the best question of all. And one that you ultimately must answer for yourself and your company. Be prepared to discuss during the interview process your biggest challenges and greatest opportunities. What have your mistakes cost you? What is the cost of doing nothing? What difference you could make if you succeed? What has been the impact of running your business or you and your family?
