Leadership Advisory Boards (LABs)

Tip of the Spear provides professionally facilitated, private advisory groups for CEOs, executives and business owners.

How would it feel to have 12 leaders to give you trusted advice in a confidential setting?

Experience Tip of the Spear’s Leadership Advisory Boards (LABs)

At Tip of the Spear, we know that it’s lonely at the top!

The best leaders don’t rely on talent… As Marshall Goldsmith said “What got you here, won’t get you there!” They also don’t rely on written advice from a guru that’s never seen the C-suite or inside of a board room.  In our Leadership Advisory Boards, leaders just like you engage in confidential dialogue with peers who have been in the leadership trenches just like you.  You bring your issues/challenges/opportunities to the virtual table based on our preselected topics of interest based on Harvard Business Review Case Studies (See below).  You’ll learn new techniques from the cases, and further benefit from the leadership experience in the room from roundtable discussion.

When leaders and their peers tackle their business challenges together, the results exceed high expectations, both professionally as well as personally. At Tip of the Spear, our Leadership Advisory Boards won’t limit you to local geographic leadership perspective either.  Our expertise in conducting virtual meetings mean leaders can gather from geographically dispersed locations on topics that target solutions for them/their organizations.

Harvard Business Review Cases

Imagine gathering a group of leaders (8-10) around the virtual board of directors table to discuss/review a business topic to better yourself/your business.  Topics of discussion will focus on Harvard Business Review Case Studies that deal with actual problems and decisions companies face. You’ll also benefit from the perspective of the leadership peers gathered around you.  The following is a partial list of the cases we’ll be discussing.
