Dear C12 Members & Friends,   

In his best selling book, How the Mighty Fall, author and business leader Jim Collins states,  "Whether you prevail or fail, endure or die, depends more on what you do to yourself than on what the world does to you."  Simply put, with the right tools, guidance, discipline and desire to succeed, business leaders can stave off decline and actually attain superior performance.  


It's not easy to find the perfect balance of these four elements, that's where the C12 Group of Central & South Texas can help!

Every day, more CEOs and Owners recognize the vital importance of "Building GREAT Businesses for a GREATER Purpose".  These C12 members see the incredible value of meeting monthly with a group of like-minded, highly motivated business owners committed to life long learning --and the results are measurable. In a recent study, the research shows that C12 members, in good economic times and bad outperform their non-member peers in business performance.  See the results here.
       

With half of 2012 passed, are you on target to reach your goals? What are you doing differently to make a change? There is still plenty of time to make amazing things happen in your business and personal life before meeting the new light of 2013. 

 

Discover for yourself the C12 Difference.  We invite you to learn more about our upcoming board meetings and encourage you to explore how the C12 Group can positively transform you personally, professionally and spiritually!   


Look for us as we host this year's Global Leadership Summit!  

    
Blessings,

DEVOTION

Leading Like "Little Children"?  (Isaiah 55:9)
As children of God, Christian leaders are called both to exhibit childlike faith and to faithfully and effectively wield the authority entrusted to us.  This 'job description' sharply differs from our culture's prevailing view of CEOs.  Which version do you most resemble?        


Working 'on' my BUSINESS

Eliminate Fallacies to Elevate Thinking  

The best-performing organizations - both 'smart' and 'healthy' - engage in healthy confrontation to leverage their collective intelligence. Superior planning and decision-making require objective analysis and discussion of ideas.  This segment includes a self-assessment of ten common logical fallacies to avoid in the process.

 

Working 'on' my MINISTRY in God's Business

Credible Christian Leadership     

Distrust of leaders and institutions is at an all-time high.  This cynicism impacts the workplace when employees don't fully engage as they worry about company prospects and career implications.  Since turnover is costly, and the best employees are 'volunteers,'  this segment examines the four key characteristics that build credibility - the glue that holds Christian leadership and ministry together.
