Limited to just 25 ministry CEOs and senior pastors (you must report to your board), the popular CEO Dialogues have been the place CEOs turn to when asking the really hard questions…that need straight answers…from other CEOs who really understand what you’re going through. It’s NOT a talking-heads day…it’s a refreshingly, honest off-the-record day of interaction, networking and learning from each other. We have a robust line-up of resource people—ready to listen and interact with you all day.

• Robert C. Andringa, Ph.D., The Andringa Group
• Scott Fehrenbacher, Grand Canyon University

7 ESSENTIAL AXIOMS FOR CEO EFFECTIVENESS
BRUCE McNICOL
A very special focus of this CEO Dialogues day will be a discussion on CEO effectiveness led by Bruce McNicol, the co-founder and president of TrueFaced and Leadership Catalyst. With degrees in finance law, theology, leadership and organizational development, Bruce’s ability to write on a multitude of topics and to a diverse audience has proved true in the best-sellers he has co-authored: The Ascent of a Leader, TrueFaced and the High Trust Cultures and High Trust Leaders resources, and Beyond Your Best. His latest book, co-authored with John Lynch and Bill Thrall, is Bo’s Café, a novel that asks the question, “Will grace finally win?”

Bruce will facilitate a Q&A on “7 Essential Axioms for CEO Effectiveness.”  We’ll ask every participant to share their best practices (and memorable failures!) and what we’ve learned from all of this. 

CO-FACILITATOR: BOB ANDRINGA
Bob Andringa, our co-facilitator, is the managing partner of The Andringa Group and specializes in all aspects of governance and the relationship between boards and their chief executives.
