Dan Meyer from BizTimes Media Discusses the Benefits of TEC

Dan Meyer, President of BizTimes Media, talks about how important business and life decisions are when you have many responsibilities on a day-to-day basis.

Very quickly, issues can arise within the business and Meyer finds the most value out of the group meetings and with Dennis Ellmaurer, his TEC Chair, to assist with finding solutions to these problems.

One of the benefits of TEC is that members are continually joining TEC, bringing fresh insights about how each executive can successfully grow their business. It's important to each member that everyone succeeds as business leaders.

What is the most valuable characteristic of a leader?

Lists of most desired leadership traits are common, but understanding what your peers find to be most valuable in a leader is not. Being recognized as a good leader goes beyond the title on your business card. 

Is being a team player just as important at the top? Does your commitment to integrity come across as visibly as you would like?
