CEO School

There comes a point in a company's life when the CEO can't do it all. Usually, that begins when a company reaches $1 million to $3 million in sales.

Unfortunately, no school can teach a CEO how to manage growth and delegate. What a CEO needs is a peer group and discussions with other CEOs who have “been there, done that.”

Such groups exist, but most of them, such as Vistage, target leaders of larger companies with sales of more than $5 million. So Bonita Springs-based business consultant Barbara Monti and Conditioned Air CEO Theo Etzel III recently launched Ancora for Chief Executives, and it's aimed at CEOs of smaller companies.
