Editor's Notes
- Both for its clients and its employees.
- Both based on existing skill and opportunity to go deep.
- Not the same as authority -- may be influence.
- Both your colleagues and the rest of the folks in your life.
- Both about what part of the world it serves and about interacting with stakeholders
- For a for-profit this can be measured in the creation of monetary value (or the likelihood of doing so). For a non-profit it can be measured in turning resources into value creation. If an organization is not effectively using its resources then it’s probably not an effective use of yours.
- How someone that can do this role as well as you can is valued in the market and the value to the company. More collaboration than a negotiation.
- The earlier stage the company the more the people themselves are a proxy for these.
