CEO OnBoard

CEO OnBoard Overview:  In an effort to respond to the significant increase in new CEOs at mission organizations, Missio Nexus seeks to walk alongside leaders who have been in their role five-years or less.  Our desire is to assist these CEOs in their adjustment to the new role, new team and perhaps new organization.  Leaders will be engaged both one-on-one by our Onboard Mission Advisor and will also have the opportunity to interact as a group with other CEOs who are in similar positions.

Goals:

• Create smooth transitions from the previous CEOs
• Encourage CEOs to be Spirit led learners, team builders, and consensus builders
• Assist CEOs with time management and spiritual development
• Help new CEOs work together as a cohort to learn, ideate and innovate
• Assist CEOs in building strong relationships with board members

The Onboard program will launch each year with a new class of CEOs at the Missio Nexus Annual Mission Leaders Conference.  Participants will be expected to attend the fall conference and specific time will be utilized in the schedule for the new group to interact with the Mission Advisor and as a group.  Following the conference, the individual CEOs will have the opportunity to interact via phone, email and through an online virtual cohort group with each other and the Mission Advisor.  About half-way through the year the Mission Advisor will personally visit with the CEO at their headquarters for a one-day deep dive.  The nine-month program will conclude in the summer at the Missio Nexus Annual Peer-to-Peer CEO retreat.  At this event CEOs will have the opportunity to interact with a wider group of CEOs from many different mission organizations and conclude their mentoring.
