Continue your peer networks journey… with the MD2MD community

As you’ve discovered on the government sponsored Peer Networks programme, it’s no longer lonely at the top when you share your challenges with business leaders like you. MD2MD has run business leader peer networks for over 300 Managing Directors since 2004, and currently has over 100 active members nationwide.

Make time to save time

Most business leaders are busy… flat out. It’s inevitable. It goes with the job. If the business does ever run smoothly, the leader is busy driving the next opportunity.

The difference is that the smart business leader recognises that it’s easy to spin your wheels. To rush around fighting fires rather than working out who’s lighting them and why.

The smart business leader takes time to pause, think and talk to others. Learning from the successes… and mistakes of others saves time!

You, the operational leader

MD2MD members are operational business leaders like you.

Leader. Your primary role is to engage and enthuse a team in driving towards a shared vision. You probably have a team of tens or hundreds.

Operational. Your primary challenge is managing sales, marketing, operations and development to efficiently and effectively deliver the right balance between profit now and investment for future growth.

Ambitious. You are ambitious to achieve more success for your business with less stress for yourself.

Humility.  Whilst competent and confident you have the humility to realise you can be even better and have the desire to be so.

Commitment.  You are committed to investing in continuous improvement for you and your business.

Your meetings

Confidential peer challenge board. Business leaders like you debate how best to deal with real business leadership challenges: a very useful sounding board for the person facing the challenge and a chance for you all to develop your thinking on leadership.

Speaker led workshops. Led by world-class practitioner professionals, of a standard rarely available to business leaders in a small group, share best practice and provoke you to think and act differently.

LeaderFest conference. A fantastic chance for you to hear first hand the leadership thoughts of some very experienced and interesting business leaders whilst discussing all things business with a hundred or more business leaders just like you.

Retreat to advance. A great opportunity to take time out in an inspirational venue to consider where you, and your business, might be in five, ten, twenty or a hundred years. Why you want that and how you’ll get there.
