Who is Maestro-level leaders for?

Organizational leaders/founders who know it’s time to not only think about but actually plan for succession, and who want to approach What’s Next with a broader lens--planning for a new season of growth, value, impact, and significance for themselves, their successor, and the organization as a whole. Leaders who believe that fostering the success of their successors and building (versus eroding) value are non-negotiables for their transition and leadership legacy.

“As the CEO of UFS, leading a growing community bank technology outfitter, it is imperative for me to focus on creating a company that is sturdy and sustainable so that we can serve our customers into future generations. The work to do this though is like trying to see around corners and being part of the Maestro Level Leaders cohort empowers me to do just that.”

Mike Tenpas, President & CEO at UFS

The world-class leader’s journey has three turns.

Turn 1

Artisan: Learning to lead oneself

In the first turn, you learn to lead yourself. You learn about you. You determine your capacities and boundaries. You learn to lead where you are concerned.

Turn 2

Artist: Learning to lead others and an organization

In the second turn, others have acknowledged your gifts and invite you to lead a team or organization. You learn about the organization. You determine its capacities and boundaries. You learn to lead where others are concerned.

Turn 3

Maestro: learning to lead toward future, sustained organizational value, and legacy

The Maestro-level leader is entering the third turn of a journey; this is where our conversations will flow as a resource for accomplished leaders who intend to soar toward that future. This is a uniquely sculpted place. It is your opportunity to craft deeper vision out of chaos, to discover and orchestrate future value for the organization you steward, and to lead where legacy is concerned.
