I have now run workshops for over 100 CEO groups, in the UK and around the world. These groups are part of various Peer Group Organisations and the largest is Vistage International based in San Diego but with over 16,000 members in 15 countries and I have spoken for a number of their groups.
Each group, typically around 15 non-competing members, has a Chair and as a speaker the Chair makes such a difference to the day and the value the Group gets from the session.
I have learnt over the years that best Chairs are those that clearly 'care' about every single one of their members and their personal journey.
The epitome of such Chairs is John Watkinson who runs V55 and K230 in the UK. He oozes his commitment to his members to simply being as successful as they can be and one of his means of achieving that is to help the speakers to also be as successful as they can.
I am extremely pleased, therefore, to give John Watkinson of Vistage a SMART COMPANY Award - highly deserved!
After reading the superb book about the future of business (and it's here now!) "Smart Customers Stupid Companies" I thought it would be great to list organisations we come across, or do business with, that fall into either category. So there are "SMART" and "STUPID" company awards, and I'd love you to contribute!
