1. You will fight fewer fires and have more time for strategy
and planning.
2. You will be more creative than your competition, because of your
"secret weapon": Access to the knowledge, experience, wisdom and insights of a
dozen CEO's who've dealt with similar problems in various ways.
3. You will grow as a leader.
4. You will benefit from honest, objective, no-holds-barred feedback.
It may sting -- but you will appreciate it as that which only a good friend can
offer -- usually just what you need to hear just when you need to hear it.
5. You will act with greater clarity and confidence.
6. You will see the "forest" more clearly as each month you make
time to step outside your business and "rise above the trees."
