Today's meditation:
When you are planning a major high-risk business/technology initiative - you need a "10th man" (or, woman)
That also goes for every board, steering committee, leadership team...
To obtain the maximum benefit, you should engage an outsider.
Someone that is free from the political pressure of existing/operating within the framework of your organization.
Someone
that is unencumbered by the potentially debilitating concerns of
whether their honest feedback will jeopardize their status as an
employee, or put them at risk of obtaining an unfavorable annual review,
or that speaking truth to power might put their bonus in jeopardy.
When
your very survival is at stake, when you require discretion, when depth
and breadth of experience is critical - and integrity is
essential...call me.
For anything less, call someone else.
