CEO Mentoring
It’s often said that being a CEO is the loneliest job in the world. If you confide too much in your Executive Team, you can be perceived as being weak. If you confide in your board directors, you could create concern that you’re not up to the job. Confiding in your significant other can cause family stress and it’s not always healthy to bring those questions back home.
Where do you go?
You need a CIEN (Shadow) CEO. A mentor. An Advisor. Someone who can offer low risk advice and counsel, with no skin in your game. Someone with proven, successful experience and scars to help you in your journey.
Board Development
Being a productive, contributing Board Director requires strategic oversight. Often, Board Directors get mired in operational details that are the responsibility of the Executive Teams. There’s a “bright line” established between Board Directors of Operating Teams - crossing that line can lead to extremely ineffective and unhealthy relationships at the top of a company.
