Global Leadership Survey: Associations & the Private Sector
The international survey of CEOs on Leading Growth has been completed and the results are in. We had 84 CEOs around the world participate including sixteen from professional societies and eleven from trade associations. This made it possible to contrast the two types of associations with each other as well as with the private sector.

Many sectors were represented including aviation, transportation, retail, industrial goods and services, healthcare, financial services and investment, energy and utilities, telecommunications, and technology. I was particularly happy to have 27 of the 84 come from associations because over 50% of my clients are association CEOs and executive directors. 

� Over two-thirds of all respondents (56% of professional societies and 63% of trade associations) foresee growth.
� The volatile economy poses, by far, the greatest threat to growth.
� Trade associations are not looking to expand in Japan or Australasia, whereas professional societies are.

I was one of the survey organizers, working with my colleagues in the Summit Global Network. We are 22 boutique consulting firms in seven countries on four continents. We share resources, best practices, personnel, and expertise. The combined intellectual property of our members comprises over 70 commercially published books, a thousand published articles, and thousands of audio, video, and public speaking appearances.Through our combined reach, thousands have expressed interest in having this report.

Organizations, as all living things, need fresh air. Take the time to read the results of the survey. Discuss the findings to generate ideas and actions for your organization. Use this as a stimulus to capitalize on the opportunities and avoid the threats that await your business in the year ahead.  You can download the full survey here. Please feel free to share.
