Work smarter not harder
The crisis is putting everyone, including business leaders, under pressure. Not only do they have big decisions to make – about the future of their business and the livelihoods of their staff, they have to make them quickly at a time when they are already working flat out. Working smarter not harder is more important than ever but easier said than done.
Get shortcuts
Avoid dead ends – Save time
MD2MD members share in confidence insights, information and ideas on current challenges with fellow business leaders. Joining their brief but regular structured conversations and sharing thoughts, decisions and actions will save you time and enable you to work smarter. You will hear of shortcuts others have taken that you can use too and find out about dead ends others have encountered that you can avoid.
Who?
Operational business leaders
We only want as members operational business leaders who like us recognise the value of confidential conversations about business leadership with others in similar roles. Real people who have also found themselves in a leadership role and who share the ambition to be (even) better leaders and as a result drive (even) more success for their business. MD2MD membership is exclusively for operational business leaders with tens or hundreds of staff. The job title is usually Managing Director in the UK, but the actual title is not important.
Why?
To be the best leader they can be
The operational business leaders that join MD2MD recognise that they can’t do or control everything themselves. Their own specialist expertise of sales, technical operations or finance is no longer as important as it was. At the scale they operate now their primary challenge is to engage and enthuse a team to achieve an ambitious vision through a clear and coherent strategy and skilled leadership.
Why?
To drive business success
MD2MD members regularly make decisions (like employing someone) worth £10k – £100k and have a salary bill in excess of £1M. There is a return on investment if the MD2MD subscription enables just one better decision, just a 1% improvement in engagement or if as a result of seeing the wood for the trees the leader makes a strategic choice that ensures the business is in the right place with the right offer at the right time.
How?
Joining is easy
And it’s with our compliments – until we’ve proven the value!
Apply here, speak to us to check its a good fit and arrange to join one of our demonstration meetings to see how we work alongside other interested and interesting business leaders. If you can see the potential value of private discussions with fellow business leaders, join a group and as long as that works for all continue as a member. And see our top class practitioner speakers too.
Once you’ve experienced MD2MD membership for a month, you will be invited to start paying a subscription and continue as a member for as many years as you wish. Membership is at will. When you feel the 80:20 rule has kicked in and you want to do something else just tell us, stop paying and stop attending. With MD2MD there is never any legal tie. Members are there because they want to be. The fact that some stay for years, decades even, is testament to the value of membership.
* MD2MD is not right for everyone. Not every business leader fits. The discussion is to confirm fit. We know these groups only work if everyone attending is a serious business leader responsible for 10s or 100s of staff AND has a genuine intent to raise their game as a leader by giving and receiving equally and by supporting and challenging their peers to be the best leader they can possibly be.
The challenge sessions with my peers always provide insight and actionable approaches to problems that vex me and other C-levels. MD2MD challenges you to be the best leader you can be and never disappoints.Chris Hobbs
