360 Leadership Groups

How does the Texas Consilium
360 Leadership Group work?

You will meet monthly with a group of 10-12 qualified and compatible Texas business leaders who are all on a journey of excellence.

Our 360 Leadership Group is designed to overcome a key challenge found in many peer group programs. Namely, in traditional CEO or executive peer groups,  members can only share what they know about their business — but it’s the unknown issues of a business that are the most critical to resolve.

Texas Consilium addresses this challenge by providing a comprehensive solution beyond any standard peer group program, spearheaded by a seasoned Texas Consilium Group Leader assigned to guide you and your group members. Assisted by a skilled Business Advocate facilitator, a dedicated team of Business Advisors, and cutting-edge diagnostic and business enhancement tools, you and your fellow leaders can transcend “normal,” showcasing your unwavering dedication to excellence and propelling you, your company and your group toward achieving your full potential. While 360 is not another peer group program, we often hear 360 described as  “a peer group on steroids.”

Distinguished by our collection of acclaimed member companies, 360 represents a diverse array of thriving Texan enterprises spanning various sectors. Unlike conventional profit-driven peer groups that sometimes aim solely to assemble participants, we prioritize quality over quantity. 360 Leadership Group members are meticulously chosen based on their proven track record of achieving remarkable success and their unwavering commitment to fostering a culture of continuous growth and relentless pursuit of excellence.

Every organization has two necessary perspectives — (1) External, looking outside at markets and revenues, and (2) Internal, looking inside at operations and controls. Both are critical to success. In most organizations, executing these two unique perspectives are the responsibility of at least two different leaders whose views and activities must be brought together as part of a common system. Our Texas Consilium 360 Leadership Groups are organized with two tracks to allow you and your fellow leaders to focus on what’s most important to each of you.

The Best Member Experience for Your Company, Your Team and You

Your Business Matters

Your membership in 360 is for your business, not just you as an individual leader. This is a key distinction between peer group programs and 360 Leadership Groups. As such, any time you cannot personally attend a meeting, you may send your next in line. And while we’re helping individuals become better leaders, we’re also focused on helping member companies achieve their true potential for success through added complimentary benefits that include the following:

Diagnose Member Issues – Your Business Advocate, at your option, can arrange a confidential deep-dive 360 Diagnostic into your business, through which we will analyze your financial performance, survey your business issues, establish a baseline for tracking future improvement, and develop a preliminary action plan specific to your company.

Compile the Results – While each member’s diagnostic is confidential, we will compile your group members’ results into an anonymized composite profile which your group leader can use to bring valuable focus to your group activities. Target those business issues most common within your group to bring even greater value to your regular meeting programs.

Team Mentoring & Coaching – Your experienced Texas Consilium Group Leader and Business Advocate can extend your leadership group benefits through coaching and mentoring to your entire leadership team up to two hours per month at no additional charge. Your Business Advocate can also coordinate any business improvement programs throughout your business and connect you with the leadership and resources that may be needed.

Access to Resources – Texas Consilium can connect you with Texas resources in a way that many others cannot. Texas Consilium’s Business Excellence Awards connect us with some of the top business and governmental leaders in the State of Texas. We invite 360 members and their group leaders to join us as special guests at our annual Executive Summit, Awards event, VIP reception, plant tours, special events, networking opportunities and other Texas Consilium activities that may help you expand your world.

Track Improvement Progress – We will provide a methodology for identifying, quantifying and reporting the impact that improvement actions have on member businesses. We will process these actions, update your group’s improvement scoreboard, and report the combined impact at your meetings as a way to share lessons learned and provide accountability.

Compare Your Improvement Performance – Because we will be using a common methodology to track improvements made within each participating member’s business, Texas Consilium will be able to compare your group’s performance with that of other groups. Those groups creating the greatest improvement for their members will be recognized as champions in the pursuit of excellence!

What does all of this cost?

Far less than the value that you get, guaranteed! In fact, we are so certain of our 360 Leadership Group value that we will take 100% of the risk. If you actively participate for three months and don’t experience the value, we will provide you with a total return of your investment.
