An interview with Ana Dutra, author of Lessons in LeaderShiT: Detoxing the Workplace. Ana has served as CEO and Board Director across industries. She discusses the Why and How and provides practical tips and traps for building your own board of directors.

The Board of Directors of a company selects, supports and reviews the performance of the CEO. If you are in The Me-Suite running your own life like a company, you are your own CEO. You need a personal Board of Directors to be a sounding board (pun intended), a sparring partner, a reality check that you’re living up to The Me-Suite mindset.
