When I was serving as President of a $1 Billion+ business, I was contacted by a networking group about joining. I was explained the value of having a peer group to assist me in my role but my answer was simply “I just don’t have the time to commit to a regular peer group meeting.” I suspect many executives answer the same way because time is the one commodity that you never have enough of when leading an organization. Now in retrospect, I realize I made an error. I ended up wasting more time working through issues on my own that I now know could have been helped by a peer group. I’m confident that most of the big issues I wrestled with were not new and someone in a peer group would likely have dealt with the very same issues that were slowing me down. I’m certain I would have also received some sage advice on ways to navigate most, if not all, of the business challenges I came across. My advice now would be to definitely make time to join and participate in a peer group. I guarantee you’ll get loads of great support and you’ll likely help someone else along the way.
