Word about this newsletter.
One aspect of business life that top executives rarely discuss
is their isolation.
When you are the Chief Executive Officer of the company, whether
it's a start-up or a multi-million dollar enterprise, who do you talk
to about really important issues? If you're like most CEOs, there
are just some things you can't share with employees, friends or
even partners. Today's issue discusses this dilemma.
My hope is that you use the ideas and information in these
BizSuccess Breakthroughs broadcasts to get the results you

If you want some help in putting them into practice, or if you

THIS ISSUE'S MESSAGE
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Lonely at the Top"
You've heard the phrase, "It's lonely at the top". What does
that
really mean? One aspect of business life that top executives
rarely discuss is their isolation.
When you are the Chief Executive Officer of the company, whether
it's a start-up or a multi-million dollar enterprise, who do you talk
to about really important issues? If you're like most CEOs, there
are just some things you can't share with employees, friends or
even partners.
Think about a sensitive strategic issue you've had to face in the
past year. Maybe you were (or still are) thinking about:
* selling the company
* bringing in or replacing a top executive
* merging or acquiring
Most likely, you won't share these types of issues with employees.
They have so much at stake they'll not give you good, objective
feedback. You might even cause an unnecessary panic or at least
a lively rumor mill.
Discussing these sensitive decisions with friends or family might
make you feel good, but what's the possibility that you'll receive
solid, unbiased feedback on your ideas?
Your advisors - attorneys, CPAs and consultants - usually have an
agenda of their own. Can you blame them if they slant their input
just a little to put them in position for keeping or expanding their
engagement with your company?
If your decision is concerning your partner(s), you obviously can't
openly and objectively explore the issue with her/him.
So, what do you do?
Most CEOs just keep it to themselves. You probably spend a lot of
time - and some sleepless nights - pondering the pros and cons
of these significant issues. If it's a "bet-the-farm" decision, as so
many of your strategic decisions seem to be, the stress of going
it alone can be overwhelming.
Many top executives describe this as feeling "totally alone" or
"me
against the world". Lonely at the top? You bet it is! The toll is
often health-damaging stress, strained personal relationships,
lack of focus on the rest of your business responsibilities, and
perhaps a decision that costs you the enterprise.
What's the solution? You have a couple of practical possibilities
that can provide you a knowledgeable sounding board, agenda-
free advice, timely response and probing questions that truly
challenge your thinking.
One possibility is to join a peer-level board-of-advisors group.
These are groups of CEOs who, like you, have the ultimate respons-
ibility for decisions in their enterprise. Like you, they know what
it's like when you must make payroll every week.
Chances are that at least a few of these experienced CEOs have
been down the path you are traveling. Some of them already have
the battle scars and can help steer you away from disaster. Perhaps
the pointed questions from this group could help you clarify your
thinking or even disclose that the issue you are pursuing is not even
the real issue. If you can handle the deep, probing questions, you'll
sharpen your thinking.
Another solution for CEO isolation is a business coach. Many
people have a personal trainer for their body. Why not have a
coach for your mind? Using a coach is the latest way for people
to get ahead in today's crazy business world.
People use coaches for two basic reasons:
* Some people seek coaches to help them develop a balance
between their personal and professional lives.
* Others want a coach to help them become more productive in
their business or help increase their earnings.
A Coach can be your sounding board, support system, "devil's
advocate", cheerleader and teammate all rolled into one. Bottom
line; the task of a coach is helping you realize your full potential.
Whether you join a peer advisor group or hire a business coach,
take action to relieve the isolation. Running an enterprise should
be challenging, exciting, rewarding and fun. It doesn't have to be
lonely at the top.
