FROM THE TOP: Lunch on a Contingent Basis |
|
Imagine
you are dining in a fine restaurant. Imagine that you only
need to pay if, in the years to come, your new business venture
turns out well.
A great board of directors is a lot like bringing great chefs
together – businesspeople
whose collective experience
includes choosing ingredients, designing menus, and, of course, making dessert. That
is to say those people who can choose the right staff, establish strategy, and,
of course, find the right exit.
Great boards ask questions, both simple and tough. They challenge you. They guide
you. They bring their experiences – the successes and the
failures – to work for you.
These business leaders often
join boards with no promise of compensation in the early years of your
business; later, typically, they get options. Of course, options are just empty
calories if you don't succeed. Maybe there's no such thing as
a free lunch, but there is lunch on a contingent basis.
