    Limiting pushback from PTO structure changes One of our members recently faced the delicate task of revising their PTO & Holiday Policy after acquiring a business last year. Check out the top tips from our community: - Do early discussions with influential team members to explain the policy changes rationale, to help build foundational support - Frame the policy adjustment as offering more flexible PTO, showing it as a benefit to the team - Prepare for possible turnover with a proactive recruitment strategy, eliminate key man risk and make sure roles are well-documented What do you think is the right approach here?

    How do business owners manage family and work calendars? A (busy) Scalepath member recently asked for advice on managing their work and family calendars. Here are some of the best tips from our community: Shared family Google calendar - informative, and tracks all family events. It’s non-blocking for my primary work calendar. This uses my personal Gmail, not my work email I then share this calendar with my primary work calendar Shared with spouse and children (once they have cell phones) If a shared event on my family calendar should be a blocking event on my work calendar, I add my work email as an invitee to the shared event. By doing it this way, if the shared event moves/cancels, so does the blocking copy on my work calendar. You can go the other way too - if the family needs to be aware of an event on my work calendar, I will add the shared calendar as an invitee on my work calendar. This example uses Google, but it follows the same logic across Outlook. What do you think about this process?

    You need a CEO peer group. I joined a decade ago: - 10x’ed my businesses - I now “tapdance to work” - More time with family/friends Here’s my story. 🧵 * The Problem As a CEO, you’re on your own. It’s lonely and you’ve no professional peers. And, you’re missing skills. There’s no “class” to be a business leader. The Answer: A CEO Peer Group The members run businesses like you. Same journey. People you bounce ideas off, get feedback, talk about anything. They could be: - By Industry - Location - Even faith-based Most have confidentiality rules, and often non-competes/non-solicits. My Peer Group Story I had been a CEO for about 6 years. I was stuck. I asked around about Vistage, EO, Tab, all sorts of different groups. And it turns out feelings were mixed: Some people totally loved them, and others not. Making Peer Groups Work The people that loved them were all-in: - Totally open - Growth mindset - Humble - Leaned into the process Either you were coachable – or you wasted everyone’s time. My search I looked at many CEO groups. Each had a personality. I wanted the most exclusive and hard-charging group. That’s my nature: lighthearted, but serious. The best ended up being my Vistage Worldwide, Inc. group. I got referrals, references and joined. It’s changed my life. If you’re serious about growth, try it. Two groups I recommend: - In-person group? Vistage via Jason Straughan - Smaller biz or want virtual? Scalepath via Sam Trumps (I’m a member and cofounder!) Look at others, too. It will change your life. It did mine! Please reply/like this to help me on my mission: To fill LinkedIn with high-quality content. Michael

    I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Chairman at Scalepath! A little delayed on this one, but Sam Trumps (CEO) and I are building something special. It's a one-of-a-kind CEO peer network. The only one that is asynchronous and has playbooks for the common problems every business faces. If you know a small business CEO (<$7mm revenue) who wants to scale themselves and their business, contact Sam or apply at joinscalepath.com. Michael
