Managing Your Board Of Directors

Managing your board is a tricky area. Interpersonal relationships are key, and the best of intentions are often torpedoed by self interest.

A board can be an ugly beast. It can be a vibrant powerhouse for growth and success. A brief scour of search engines on this question sent me to websites with absolutely terrible advice on how to manage a board. The reference below is among the best I found, and in particular the four questions it asks up front give perhaps the best way to answer the question ‘ is my board running as best it can?’

Every business owner should have a mentor. Why?  Think of a forest. When running a business you are in the thick of it, dealing with issues, managing problems, in among the trees with your staff.  There is nobody from inside the business that can see the forest. It is impossible to DIY business mentoring.

Here is a great blog post from @emilyroseutter who tried DIY, then engaged a mentor and doubled her income. http://emilyutter.com/why-you-shouldnt-diy-business/ #businessmentor
