Why Two CEOs: Boosts efficiency (20-30% revenue gains, e27.co); mitigates risk (40% global leaders have COOs, McKinsey 2022).
Benefits: Reduces turnover (34% lower with development, Gallup); builds succession (avoids 20-50% productivity loss, SHRM).
Vistage Key Groups: Develops right-hands as CEO makers; complements emerging/advancing; over 80% of Tom's CEOs place teams here.
Action: Assess right-hand readiness; enroll in Key Groups for ROI.
