No Better Time Than Now

My name is Linda Goldstein. I’m a Vistage Chair facilitating a peer advisory group of high-performing executives who want to improve their leadership skills and grow their companies. We achieve these goals by tapping into the collective wisdom of the group and the different perspectives of each member, who come from non-competing industry backgrounds.

There are openings in my group. I’m looking for people who need support and guidance to help them make big decisions for rapid growth. If that describes you, connect with me at linda.goldstein@vistagechair.com.

I am also a consultant who specializes in change management. I assess your organization's situation, develop the right plan, and help you implement that plan to achieve results.

Groupthink is common but can be dangerous, as demonstrated by President Kennedy's Bay of Pigs disaster, where his advisors failed to voice dissent, resulting in a catastrophic decision. Leaders are advised to withhold their initial opinions, encourage open debate, and appoint a 'devil’s advocate' to challenge consensus.
