If somebody's going on your board, and you're going to be C.E.O., it will help if that person knows how to be C.E.O., who has done it before.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A C.E.O.'s job is leadership, problem solving, and team building. I've done that my whole career.
What does it mean to pre-board? Do you get on before you get on?
If I'm in my position at a company, I may not have the knowledge of the C.E.O., I may not know what's possible, or I may not have the creativity, but if I can identify a problem, that's a valuable thing.
If you don't know how to hold a board, you're going to look phony. That's was the biggest pressure for me was to have that respect and to look up to that.
My principal at RADA once told me, 'You'll know you're a professional when you don't feel like doing it but you have to do it.'
So what I do is supervise the boarding process trying to get the shows the way I'd like them to be. And in some cases I've completely redone a board myself even though I'm not credited for it.
I have always been someone who wants to get it right. That started when I ran for school board. It's an avocation that's become a full-time job.
Being a pathfinder is to be willing to risk failure and still go on.
I'm not too involved in day-to-day matters. I only supervise at the board level.
Every role sort of teaches you how to prepare for it.
