Young Presidents Organization----Not So Lonely at the Top!
Young Presidents Organization----Not So Lonely at the Top!
Howdy Partners! I just returned from facilitating a 2 Day YPO Forum at a California Dude Ranch. For those of you not familiar with the YPO, this top drawer organization, which has been around since 1950 represents a virtual "Who's Who of Business Leaders” There's considerable business and political influence in this group with YPO members including Former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Nelson Mendela and Fidel Castro. YPO was founded so that Top Business Leaders (CEO's, Chairmen & Managing Directors) could find wisdom through mutual support and not have to say "man it's lonely at the top".
The YPO Mission: "Better Leaders Through Education and Idea Exchange". CEO Think Tanks are a concept that dates back to Native American Tribal Councils, where the Top Tribal Chiefs gathered around the fire to share best practices of hunting and fishing. Today those discussions held in the trusted privacy of the CEO Tribal Circle are about a different, but nonetheless challenging, hunt to build a prosperous and ethical organization in a competitive marketplace. Talk to any CEO! To be beloved and respected by shareholders, customers and employees, not to mention your number one customer "your own family" requires a mixture of warrior instinct and an ultimate blend of Survival Skills and Emotional Intelligence.
So how do you talk about such serious stuff and get results in a 2 day retreat? Well the format is not really that different from Native American Pow-WOW's, known as a "Quickening of the People" which use Tribal Council Rituals to achieve mind and body connection and build trusted communication among tribal members.
There was definitely a “Quickening of the people” during this YPO Retreat, as members barely had time to breathe with a packed agenda that included "A Rocks and Ropes Team Adventure", Martial Arts Training for the CEO, "A Course in Leadership and Fly Fishing” and even a workshop in how the “Wisdom of Wine Makers can improve Corporate Communications.” There were even two rounds of Golf---Yes Golf Can Improve Your Leadership Game! A Core Theme: in order to help each other be successful, team members need to know each other first and what better way to do that than with the help of the Great Outdoors!
