The owners, and the people who run it.
Once or twice a year, both rooms meet.
Once a year, bring one or two of your leadership teammates into the room.
CBC runs these groups separately all year. Once or twice a year, they sit at one table.
The owners
The CEO Roundtable. The people carrying the direction of the business, and the weight that comes with it.
The operators
GMs, Presidents, VPs, and Heads of Operations. The people who run the day to day.
The outside leaders
A select group joins this round to meet CBC and see the format firsthand. That's the seat you're reserving.
What happens next
Groups reconvene in September, 8 to 12 leaders per group pursuing similar targets.
Bring the leaders you are counting on.
All year, the owners meet apart from the people who run the day to day. This is the one day they sit at the same table, and the only day you can bring one or two of your own leadership team into it.
They do not watch from the back. They work the burning issues, shape your next 6 to 12 months, and leave with the same clarity and accountability the owners do. For the people you trust to run the business without you in it daily, a day in this room is worth a quarter of meetings.
