"...out-learning the competition"
HEADLINES:
Two weeks later and I'm still marveling at the quality and experience of your Leadership Summit in Houston. I now forgo other learning experiences in order to have my 'think break' listening to the world-class speakers you bring to us. Thank you. Bruce Powell, IQ PARTNERS.
Over 1800 CEOs and Execs -- 5 major Summits in four regions of the globe; three workshops; and two speeches later, we educated over 1800 CEOs and executives of growth firms (representing 22 countries) this past three weeks. And universally, we heard time and time again, like the note from Bruce above, that "this is the finest day of executive education I've spent in my career." Thank you to all that participated and for your patience while I took a couple weeks off from writing my insights. Like always, the occasional Tuesday insights bring you more educational resources; the regular Thursday insights bring you the latest tools and techniques for growing your business.

Executive Brain Power -- after age 40 our brain functioning (THE competitive weapon of the information age) declines roughly 1% per year. Given the slowness of this decline, an executive might not notice a difference for a decade or more, but over time it gets harder to recall important information and remain laser focused like when they were young. ExecuThink is helping reverse this trend among executives. Four CEOs and I went through their 6 - 8 week program (twenty-four 30-minute online training sessions) and netted a 32% improvement - this was like getting three decades of decline back. And I can personally tell the difference, especially after coming off three grueling weeks of presentations - my mind was much more resilient. I'm now moving into a maintenance phase - working out my mind like you would your body - key to mental and physical fitness. Check them out and their success stories.
#1 Mistake of Growing Companies - my answer to this question and many more about the traits of successful entrepreneurs; why I chose Rockefeller as the focus of my book; and a review of my new 7 Strata of Strategy is included in this 24 minute interview by my Dutch friend Klaas Weima with Energize. Play it in the background while doing some email. Here's a link - look for my interview listed in the right hand column (or choose one of the other thought leaders!).
