Build Your Own Personal Board of Directors
If
you’re looking to rise through your organization’s ranks, but aren’t
sure how, consider creating a personal board of directors. This informal
group comprises six to eight people who can help with your professional
development. There are three types of people you should include. First,
you need fans — people who support you and will deliver tough feedback
with kindness and good intent. Second, recruit potential sponsors —
senior leaders who can advocate for you when it’s time for a promotion.
Third, include at least one critic. These people may be the toughest to
approach, but they can be the most valuable. Look for people who have
deep-seated perceptions of you and are likely to block you from
advancing. If you enlist their help, you may be able to shift the
relationship into a positive one and use their criticism to grow.
