Your Personal Board of Directors
2009-07-25 12:26:47
I know I've talked about Solomon before in past blogs and maybe some of you are getting tired of his quotes but I can't help it. The guy was stunningly insightful for living thousands of years ago!
"Listen to advice and accept instruction and in the end you will be wise." He also said "Plans go wrong for lack of advice; many advisers bring success." and he said "Plans succeed through good counsel; don’t go to war without wise advice."
If this advice was relevant thousands of years ago, it is even more relevant in today's society. It is extremely important to your success that you find a group of people that you can trust that are willing to give you wise advice and counsel. These people have to be carefully chosen because you want people that are going to not only give you wise advice but push you to new levels and hold you accountable. It is critical that the people you chose are experts in their fields and are solid in character. I call these people your "Personal Board of Directors" or PBoD.
Once you have your PBoD in place you then need to set up a regular meeting time with them. These meetings can be over the phone, WebEx, video conferences, one on one or a group setting where everyone gets together. Whatever the setting, you need to be prepared to share your plans and to accept open and honest feedback. Then you need to be prepared to take positive action with the feedback provided and to expect to be held accountable for your actions the next time you get together.
Without having this open and honest feedback there is a rather large possibility that you will take actions in your day to day life that will cause you much more pain then required. This pain does build character if you learn from it but it can also slow you down in your drive to success. Much of the pain can be avoided by listening to the counsel of your PBoD and taking positive action
You also need your PBoD to help you refine your Strength Zone and determine how you should approach every situation to take advantage of your unique strengths. Listen carefully to their advice and then apply it. Take the results back to the PBoD and continually refine your approach and strengths. This third party group of people can give you excellent "outside" perspective that you need to be successful.
