Inside a TAB Meeting

TAB meetings are a commitment by you and your fellow Board members to work on your business, not just in your business. Boards are composed of professionals in different industries who bring varied perspectives and experience to the discussion.

One morning a month you will meet in a secure, confidential environment with others who own companies; people who understand the responsibilities and rewards of being the person at the top.

Board meetings are a secure place, where you can discuss topics you can't (or won't) raise with employees, family or paid professionals. They are a forum for new ideas, an education in other industries, and a source of common-sense advice on practical, day-to-day business issues.

Board members develop a respect for the wisdom of the group. They laugh, cry (occasionally) and hold each other accountable for following through on plans and goals.

"I refuse to put a value on the time I spend in TAB. It is a discipline which allows me to step out of the day-to-day tasks each month and think about my business. That thinking improves my vision and helps clarify the direction we are headed in ways that we cannot even realize. It prevents the insanity of just going to work without thinking. In that sense, the time we spend in TAB is priceless."
