CEO Tools: Actionable Insights for Every Leader and Manager

During this CEO Climb Event, 3x Vistage Speaker of the Year Jim Canfield will show you the CEO Tools that will create a cycle of success that delivers the results business owners hoped for when they started their businesses.

 

Why do some enterprises experience immense success while others drone on in mediocrity year after year?

The answer is some are able to make their businesses meaningful, make them come to life and make them fun again, for everyone involved. Thousands of CEOs and business owners share the same dream; to have a growing, profitable business that executes effectively and can run without them; providing them with more time for personal and professional interests. Sound familiar?

This dream can be a reality. There are tools available to help CEOs accomplish these goals. Those tools are the focus of this presentation. They are designed to create clarity, set direction, get things done and provide measurable results.

CEO Tools was originally created by a CEO, for CEOs. Kraig Kramers was the CEO of eight companies and CEO Tools is based on the successful methods he and others employed to get extraordinary results from everyday organizations.

What will you learn from this workshop on strategic planning and leadership competencies?

The CEO Tools methodology is focused on three key result areas:

  1. Communication: These are the “Make It Clear” tools. They will help set the direction, create an effective cadence of communication and build trust.
  2. Execution: These are the “Make It Happen” tools. They will track progress and provide feedback and create the plans and actions required for results.
  3. Optimization: These are the “Make It Better” tools. They will help align and coach people, organize yourself and others and create a system to celebrate successes.

Value to CEOs and Leaders
Leaders may have tried similar methods to improve their businesses in the past. However, these simple concepts produce the best results, not from a one-time use, but from repetitive application. To illustrate, a schedule of repetition is needed to improve your health through a fitness routine, and learning a new language requires repetition to achieve the best results. When followed in a disciplined fashion, CEO Tools will create a cycle of success that delivers the results business owners hoped for when they started their businesses.
