The Alternative Board – TAB Philly West

As business leaders, we have the dual responsibility to both focus on where our companies stand now AND where we are going. It is called Present Curve vs Future Curve.  Of course, it is essential to meet your customers’ current wants and needs now, the present curve. But it is equally important for us to consider the future curve and address what is on the horizon. Take a look at this short TAB Talk video in which The Alternative Board President & CEO Jason Zickerman digs a little deeper into the importance of strategizing around the dichotomy of present and future curves. How much time do you spend strategizing your present and future curves? #TABBoards #BusinessCoaching #BusinessLeadership #TABPhillyWest

What’s the key difference between leaders who elevate their teams and those who hold them back? It all comes down to multipliers versus diminishers. Multipliers empower their teams to think bigger, act bolder, and maximize their potential, while diminishers stifle creativity and innovation by micromanaging and limiting others' contributions. Leadership expert Liz Wiseman, author of “Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter”, said “The best leaders amplify the intelligence and capabilities of their team, creating an environment where people can do their best work.” Listen in on this TAB Talk video as The Alternative Board (Worldwide) CEO & President Jason Zickerman shares his thoughts on the essentialness of being a multiplier as a business leader. #tabboards #businesscoaching #tabtalk

What’s a smart strategy that can keep your business afloat, even in the toughest times? When Alan Sweitzer purchased his catering company in 2001, he had no idea how profoundly global events would shape its future. After transforming the business into a B2B corporate catering powerhouse, Smith quickly learned that economic crises could strike at any moment. From 9/11 to the Great Recession, like so many others, Alan’s business faced major setbacks from tough economies. But through it all, he learned an invaluable lesson on the importance of diversifying his client list – insight that would ultimately make his business more resilient and better able to navigate industry challenges like a global pandemic. Alan brings insights like this to his TAB Board, an exclusive group of business owners and CEOs who elevate each other’s business acumen. TAB Boards explore solutions to the challenges business owners face, and board members hold each other accountable for their commitments and goals.

Jennifer Collins is the President and CEO JDC Events, an event planning, management, and strategy company based in Silver Spring, Maryland.
