Vistage members outperform the competition
During the most difficult times, Vistage CEO members grew their annual revenue on average by 4.6% in 2020, while nonmembers with comparable small and midsize businesses saw revenue decrease by 4.7%.*
Analysis performed on Dun & Bradstreet data for U.S. companies with up to $1B in annual revenue. The comparison was made on annual revenue growth (2020 vs. 2019) between Vistage member companies (sample size: 1,897) who joined the Chief Executive or Small Business programs prior to 2020 and a random sample of non-Vistage small and midsize businesses (sample size: 702).

Who Am I
Meet Your Executive Coach / Vistage Chair
My name is Chuck Knabusch, the founder of 13Ten Business Solutions, LLC. With over four decades of experience in business operations management, you can trust me to be your guide to success. Leadership isn't about giving orders, rather caring for people while achieving objectives and developing the next generation. With this foundation, I built and led high-performing teams and projects including the implementation of lean manufacturing / operating methods, the development and deployment of an ERP system across 12+ manufacturing sites and recovering manufacturing operations from a natural disaster.
Now, I'm channeling my talent and passion for business operations as an executive coach and Vistage Chair, leading a Beaumont / Port Aurther-based mastermind peer group comprised of growth-minded CEO's, Presidents and business owners / leaders fulfilling their own strategic visions.
As a Vistage Chair, my job is to question a leader's answers, not provide them; to understand the potential and power that emerges when fifteen or more bright, articulate, committed and successful leaders focus their attention on growing their businesses.
It's simple; not easy. However, when they do the work and then step back to see how their businesses thrive in new ways, it's a win for everyone!
The executive leaders I expect to have the opportunity to work with every day will think differently and will be driven to be better. Whether it's through becoming a larger company, pivoting their businesses in an overly competitive industry, becoming more profitable, disrupting the old-guard or becoming a better father/mother, husband/wife or friend, is for them to decide.
I bring them together, facilitate and help them hold one another accountable.
My experience in leadership development, operational excellence and bottom-line results brings perspective and guidance for the high-performing leaders I coach.
