Think you should be attending my upcoming conference in L.A. which starts with a board meeting; all key executives in hospitality including suppliers! Could use a great moderator to get a fire lit with this board!

I have many stories in coaching my clients that are similar to the last paragraph in your latest memo. I have been the Presidend, founded or co founded as CEO or Chairman, etc over 26 firms and in my years in YPO and my own Coaching firm Chief Executive Forum for over 30 years seen many examples of this.

My comments in addition is You Must Tell your board or advisory board EVERYTHING you know and Do Not know before you ask for advice. When you leave out some part of the background of the issue you get slanted or very bad advice. Also, the board is at fault most of the time for not asking or not being aware of what is going on in the firm. One thing that can help is to have several people with different points of knowledge in the firm or “family” be in the meeting to share what they know and understand as well as the CEO or founder.

All the best and you are doing a great job with your emails.
