TCSP 44 -- Leverage Your Board's Power with Julie Garland McLellan

Season #1 Episode #44

 Leverage Your Board's Power with Julie Garland McLellan -- We’ve all heard the saying, “It’s lonely at the top” and that’s true for CEOs, too. According to research by the Harvard Business Review, half of CEOs struggle with feelings of isolation. And of those, a whopping 61% feel it’s hurting their job performance. After all, having a trusted sounding board is critical to success in just about any role. So wouldn’t it make sense to have some built in support for CEOs? As it turns out, there is built in support for CEOs. It’s called the Board of Directors. But here’s the surprising thing: In a survey of over 400 CEOs in 11 countries, only 28% of CEOs said they turned to their Board of directors for honest feedback. Not even one-third of CEOs turned to their Board of Directors for guidance…and that was back in 2018. Since then, the shifting landscape of pandemic conditions has only increased the complexity and volatility of, well, everything. That, in turn, increases the chances of  the healthy tension between CEOs and their Boards degrading into an unhealthy friction—and that’s just one more thing to keep CEOs up at night. And if you’re a regular listener of The Counterfeit Sleep® Podcast, you know that sleep performance problems are the death knell for performance, period.
