Ep 81: Isolation at the Top, The 3 Crucial Support Categories & Thriving as a Non-Exec Chairman
Isolation at the Top, The 3 Crucial Support Categories & Thriving as a Non-Exec Chairman
With the right kinds of support and input, NECs can help themselves to thrive and succeed in the role; for the good of the business, the Board and themselves.
In this episode I explore this, and pass on a bit of the wisdom shared with me by NECs a few years ago during the research phase of my eBook ‘Autonomy in Relationship - the Human Side of Being a Non-Exec Chairman’.
Non-exec Chairmen are mature, experienced and capable people. They are relatively self-sufficient and able to manage all sorts of challenges. And - they are human beings who benefit from a bit of assistance. Some of this assistance they can provide for themselves. Some of it is more effectively drawn from others. NECs need self-support, external support and relevant input.
The more evolved we are - the more sophisticated and nuanced the support and assistance we require. Reaching out for help is not a sign of weakness, immaturity or self-indulgence. Reaching out is a sign of strategic wisdom. In recognition that we are each our own greatest asset, and the leveraging of that asset yields extraordinary dividends.
I recommend my eBook Autonomy in Relationship - The Human Side of Being a Non-Exec Chairman:
