Genuine Feedback for Leaders: A Discussion among Peers

TruePoint’s CEO Roundtables are daylong forums sponsored by the TruePoint Center for High Performance and High Commitment. TruePoint invites five or six CEOs who share a dedication to building high performance and commitment in their organizations. These chief executives discuss and share experiences — and get meaningful feedback from peers — on their organizations’ fundamental strategic issues and challenges.

Our CEO Roundtables fulfill at least two important purposes. Each CEO benefits from sharing his or her company’s case and exploring, with peers, what has and has not worked. And participating leaders have the opportunity to meet and develop relationships with others of like mind and commitment. The format of CEO Roundtables is flexible, typically involving a full day of discussions spread over two days, with a relaxing dinner and informal conversation in the evening between.

TruePoint’s CEO Roundtables often grapple with tough, meaningful issues, so they are distinctly different from other forums where CEOs highlight worthy accomplishments and answer questions but rarely get genuine input on their thorny, unresolved issues. It is this framing that makes our CEO Roundtables an especially powerful and worthwhile learning experience for leaders.
