As a business owner or CEO, who are you listening to? Frequently, top leaders become too close to situations. Peer advisory groups offer outside perspectives, challenge biases, and encourage innovative thinking. Talking to frontline employees and directly to customers improves engagement and loyalty from both. Better listening = better decision-making. #CEOIsolation #ActiveListening #BetterDecisions

Leadership is a journey, and finding the right style is key to unlocking your and your team’s potential. This article from Vistage dives into why understanding your leadership style matters more than ever in today's business landscape. It's not about being the loudest voice in the room but creating environments where your team feels empowered and engaged. I’ve seen firsthand how the right approach can transform a team’s productivity and morale. You don't have to have all the answers but asking the right questions and supporting the growth of those around you is where it's at. If you’re looking to level up your leadership game, I recommend looking at how your style aligns with the needs of your team. It’s a game-changer. 🔑 #LeadershipDevelopment #LeadershipStyles #TeamSuccess #ContinuousImprovement

As a business leader, you likely face two common challenges when making decisions: Blind Spots and Limiting Beliefs. Blind spots can prevent you from seeing crucial opportunities or risks, while limiting beliefs may restrict your ability to think outside the box and embrace new ideas. Running a business can often feel isolating, and the weight of decision-making rests solely on your shoulders. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Engaging with a group of non-competing peers can provide valuable insights and fresh perspectives on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. These peer advisory groups offer a space for honest feedback and constructive dialogue, helping you approach your decisions with more clarity and confidence. As a Vistage Worldwide, Inc. Chair in the Greater Houston area, I facilitate Peer Advisory Groups designed to help business owners like you break through limiting beliefs, avoid costly blind spots, and ultimately make better decisions. Our groups are made up of experienced business leaders who understand the unique pressures you face, offering guidance and support based on their own successes and lessons learned. If you’re ready to gain new perspectives and make more informed decisions for your business, consider joining us. Let’s work together to unlock your full potential and achieve greater success. #SmallBusinessGrowth #HoustonBusiness #LeadershipDevelopment #PeerAdvisoryGroup #Vistage #BusinessSuccess #DecisionMaking #Entrepreneurship #BusinessLeadership

To achieve organizational clarity and accountability, you want to identify clear accountabilities and place the right people in the right seats. We’ll review the three major functions – sales and marketing, operations, and finance – and why they all report to the Integrator. Listen here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gWQk5ECv

CEO isolation in decision-making is a critical issue highlighted in the latest Vistage research. Many CEOs find themselves isolated, leading to decisions made without the benefit of diverse perspectives and collaborative input. This isolation can hinder innovation, slow down problem-solving, and impact overall business success. It's essential for leaders to actively seek out feedback, build strong advisory networks, and create a culture where open communication is encouraged. By doing so, CEOs can make more informed decisions, drive better outcomes, and foster a more inclusive and resilient organization. Let’s strive to break down the walls of isolation and lead with collaboration and transparency. #Leadership #DecisionMaking #Collaboration #CEO #InclusiveLeadership #BostonExecutiveCoaching #ProfessionalGrowth #BostonLeadershipCoach #LeadershipSuccess #BostonTrustedAdvisors #BostonVistage #BostonCEOs #LeadershipDevelopment #BostonPeerAdvisoryGroups #CapistranLeadership #NancyCapistran #ExpandingHumanExcellence CapistranLeadership.com
