Headlines

Some business CEOs use the leadership retreat or C-Suite gatherings to discuss headlines. No, not the items over the last months where the business made the news. And, no, not the “bad news” headlines that everyone wants to stay out of. Instead, they forecast the next 12 months and ask “what do we want to see?” This starts the tension between short term and long term objectives, and also the leaders gain perspective on the CEO’s vision and also their own individual, but spinning up into collective, role in making those headlines a reality.
