An Executive Leadership Organisation Is Born

With more than 14,500 members, Vistage International is the world’s foremost Chief Executive Leadership Organisation. Vistage’s Executive Leadership Programme provides unparalleled access to new ideas and fresh thinking through monthly peer group meetings, one-to-one mentoring, speaker presentations from hundreds of top industry experts, social networking and an extensive online content library of articles, best practices, podcasts and webinars.

This top executive network started from very humble beginnings over five decades ago. One October morning in 1957, a Wisconsin businessman named Robert Nourse met with four fellow Chief Executives in the office of the Milwaukee Valve Company to test a simple, yet revolutionary idea—share knowledge and experiences to help each other generate better results for their businesses.

Soon this group of businessmen were probing, asking questions and making suggestions. They challenged each other, working together to solve issues and grow. At that moment, TEC (The Executive Committee) was born.

Today, Vistage International (TEC’s successor) and its global affiliates operate in 16 countries. Executive Leadership Programme members meet in small groups every month under the same guiding principles—to help one another make better decisions, achieve better results, and enhance their lives. They’re also connecting in ways Nourse could never have imagined, collaborating online, tapping into a vast content library, and learning from hundreds of top industry speakers.

Vistage-member companies generate nearly £215 billion in annual revenue and employ approximately 1.8 million employees around the world. Studies have shown that Vistage-member companies outperform their competitors and, on average, grow their revenues at three times the percentage growth rate after joining Vistage.
