CEO Connection, an organization whose membership is reserved exclusively for midmarket CEOs, wrapped up their annual conference in Philadelphia this week. George Bradt contributed a terrific summary (see one segment of it at http://www.forbes.com/sites/georgebradt/2015/10/20/learning-from-the-ceo-connection-mid-market-convention-day-i/) for Forbes on his takeaways. Bradt captured the importance of leadership in the forms of understanding the need to craft and communicate vision, making sure the organization is aligned, and taking ownership of talent management.
If you're an entrepreneur with plans on growing from a small to mid-sized business quickly, it's imperative to get your vision right and communicate it throughout the organization to ensure everyone is aligned with you. Taking that a step further, midmarket CEOs not only need to own the vision, but they need to build out the right strategies to support it. For a couple of tips on strategy for the entrepreneurial CEO, check out this article from Stever Robbins (https://hbr.org/2010/06/advanced-entrepreneurship-the-1).
