????同時別忘了和老板打個招呼。“通常人們面臨的最大障礙就是得到老板的同意。擔任董事耗費時間，特別是在經(jīng)濟形勢困難時期，老板不想讓自己手下的高管為外部事務(wù)分神。”沃德說。“他們希望你全力以赴投入到日常工作中。” ????如果能說服老板，讓他相信某個特別的董事職位很可能讓你更加勝任現(xiàn)有的工作，則會有所幫助。至于理由，可以說幫助你結(jié)識潛在的新客戶，或者通過長遠的財務(wù)安排來豐富自己的經(jīng)驗。如果這些事情聽起來令人望而卻步，實際上確實是這么回事。不過一旦你被選中擔任某個董事，沃德說：“你就從饑荒直接跨越到盛宴了。第一份董事職位總是最難得到的。以后，收到的邀請會多得讓你應(yīng)接不暇?！?/p> ????馬克?羅杰斯就曾經(jīng)有過這樣的遭遇：在得到第一個董事職位的一年之內(nèi)，他就收到另外五個邀請。至于他創(chuàng)建BoardProspects的原因，如他所述：“在我尋找第一個董事位置的過程中，我遇到了很多志同道合的聰明人，他們都能勝任董事工作。就是沒有直接有效的方法可以聯(lián)系到有職位空缺的董事會。” ????祝你好運。 |
????Don't neglect to mention to your boss that you're doing this. "Often the biggest obstacle people face is getting their bosses' okay. Directorships are time-consuming and, especially in rough economic times, CEOs usually hesitate to let their C-level people take on outside commitments," Ward says. "They want your full attention focused on your day job." ????It might help if you can make the case that a particular directorship is likely to make you even better at the work you're already doing -- perhaps by letting you rub elbows with potential new customers, or giving you broader experience with long-range financial planning. ????If all this sounds daunting, it is. But once you've been picked for one board seat, Ward says, "you'll go from famine to feast. Getting on your first board is tough. After that, you'll probably get more offers than you can handle." ????That was Mark Rogers' experience: Within a year of snagging his first directorship, he was tapped for five more. He started BoardProspects, he says, because "while I was still looking for my first seat, I ran across so many qualified, talented people who were looking, too. There just was no direct, efficient way for us to connect to the boards that had openings to fill." ????Good luck. |
