I have 2 different views. 1). On the size of the group, I feel having any more than 12 participants reduces the value members get from the meeting. 2). I believe it is critical for the members to be running business of equal size and find if there are members running significantly larger firms the learning and sharing is diminished and the value of the peer advice is lower.

Great post!

1). On the size of the group, I feel having any more than 12 participants reduces the value members get from the meeting.

2). I believe it is critical for the members to be running business of equal size and find if there are members running significantly larger firms the learning and sharing is diminished and the value of the peer advice is lower.

Barry showed up in the update, and he commented on the Father's Day gift from his Father. It is obvious that Les has mastered that "older and wiser" attribute, but I am still working on it. I feel honored to join Les' boys and be part of the group who "get it." I feel very fortunate to have found this article via a LinkedIn update.

Every day in my Vistage one to one coaching activity I see effective CEOs finding ways to compensate. Finding niches, compensating for tight credit, inspiring their people in new ways. Innovation will be the result. Steve, I believe you are right. Every day in my Vistage one to one coaching activity I see effective CEOs finding ways to compensate.

Speaking to a Vistage group in Dothan, AL last week I was impressed by the adjustments that CEO's are making to find the new opportunities.
