Call to Action

Team Development, Boards | | Tom Suddes

IF IT WERE ME… I WOULD:

  • Figure out who were MY C.P.A.’s… and then work directly with them!
  • Recruit more women, entrepreneurs and small business owners who get stuff done.
  • Hold my next Board ‘Memorable Xperience’ either where you deliver your service/solutions… or a really, really cool place that sparks ideas, creativity and innovation. (e.g. the zoo or children’s museum).
  • Change the Framework of the Board ‘Gatherings’ (meetings) and focus on Altitude and Impact and Feedback.
  • Share the CHANGE IN VOCABULARY as a means of creating great conversation/dialogue on WHY you exist, WHAT you do, and HOW you deliver on your premise (Mission, Vision).
  • Spend the entire next Board session talking about the ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES of the Board, summarized on a card (Addendum).
  • And, perhaps most importantly, I would restructure my entire schedule in order to have one-on-one VISITS with each member of the Board to go over their ROLE and how they can best HELP!

*I would also share this For Impact Guide with everyone on my Board.
