I meeting with my Personal Board Of Directors this morning and thought I let you take a look into how I plan to engage these guys, who are my closets friends and most trusted advisors.  I’ve got to brag on them a bit

Brian Cole – Catalyst Conference – Handles all things production for the conferences

Brad Scholle – Orange Conference Operations guru – Husband to the Amazing Jenn from Atlanta Mission.  (no shame promoting that orginization)

Reggie Goodin – CFO of Rethink and the Orange Confernce founded by Reggie Joiner

Mark Cole – Business Manager for The John C. Maxwell Company and Dr. Les Parrott (You gotta check his video channel on marriage relationships when you’re done here)

Yes I’m bragging.  I’m incredibly blessed to have this group of guys keeping me straight.  I grew up in a small town and for much of my early years I was the “slow kid”  now I’m the slow adult and God’s over compensating for me.

    Thanks for this look into your life. It is the mark of a great leader and I appreciate the chance to see the depth of your outline as it relates to life. A challenge for sure… blessings to you in this new year!

  2. [...] Accountability is for everyone, I mean everyone. No one is exempt from its function or necessity. Why some pastors feel that this doesn’t include them is beyond me. If anyone needs it more it would be those who are called “pastor.” Yet so many of my friends in these leadership roles charge forward with little or no “real” accountability. They say they meet with a guy here or there but the substance of that time is rarely what accountable relationships should be covering. I recently ran across a guy who posted the topics he covered with his accountability team HERE. [...]

      Phil, thanks for posting on this topic. Working with pastors every day I see why accountability is an issue. Every man they come in contact with is under their authority. With the demands of ministry it takes alot of effort to break the gravitational pull of their ministry to get outside of it and find some wise men they can be transparent with. Find a guy you know is struggling with this and draw a circle around him and pray.

    Richard,
    This is a novel idea. I’ve never seen anyone do this before. I sit on two boards of directors and know the power of intentionality and accountability that makes or breaks a board. To apply the approach to my personal life is logical. I’ve asked a handful of friends what they think about the idea and may be forming my board soon. Any other references that helped you navigate your personal board establishment would be greatly enjoyed!
    Regards,
    Jesse

      Jesse, I’ve had a hard time finding resources on the subject of a personal board of directors. They guys on mine and I have been together for 9 years in April so this was an easier step for us that it might be for the guy who doesn’t have those relationships. But still a step worth taking. Also, we’ve wrestled with the word “Directors” vs “Advisers”. Directors seem to have more voting authority and, by the nature of them not having ultimate authority over my decisions, we’ve decided to call them advisers (Very strong willed advisers I might add). I’m not ready to put my plan on my blog yet but if you’ll email me I’ll send you the excel doc I’m using and the accompanying review document from our last meeting on 2.9.12. rwchancy@cogun.com

      Grace and Peace
