Abstract

[It begins with curiosity – What would it be like to be a main board director? Am I good enough? If the traffic lights stay green as you move up the hierarchy, your curiosity makes you alert for the weak signals the less curious would miss; that the powers that be in and around your organization see you as a star and, by implication, a potential main board member. Your “why?” becomes “why not?” Your self-confidence grows. You begin to believe that you are good enough and no insuperable obstacles bar the way. Belief becomes a wish and the wish becomes an intent.]
