Collaboration Chronicles

Collab21 has had a few changes in board members over the last year.  This is due to inexperience.  To thwart this, I’ve read to look for one or more of the following three things:

1. Wealth
2. Wisdom, or
3. Work

If you are considering adding more board members, make sure they are one of the three things.  You can test the last two by giving them tasks, or by applying their experience.

The people you ask to join the board who are willing to work, actually have to work.  The catch is that they don’t necessarily have to be doing as much work, or have as much passion as you in the beginning, but they should be totally bought into the goals and mission of the company.
