Description

Inc. CEO Project is a paid, exclusive community founded in 2005 by Jim Schleckser. It's a place where CEOs from fast-growing companies meet to discuss and assess business issues. 

The community requires you to have a company that makes between $15 million and $2 billion in revenue to join. There are only around 100 members.

The application process involves an interview. According to your answers, you will participate in a select group with other CEOs with similar company sizes and business challenges. This framework allows non-competitiveness and higher efficiency while solving the specific challenges of the group.

You can join weekly, virtual meetings hosted by the founder. All of these meetings are recorded and kept in an online library. As a member, you can review them for further growth and development.

You can also enter coaching sessions. For example, Succession Planning is a quarterly, 1.5 day-long session to plan who will be your company's next CEO.

On the other hand, Strategic Planning involves sessions with an expert advisor to help you and your team craft a long-term, strategic vision for your business. The length of these sessions is customized to better fit your needs and is recommended that you take one a year to keep up to date with your advisor.

Inc. CEO Project hosts also the Annual Summit, a networking event to connect with a broader group of CEOs and thought leaders.
