I expect The Chairman post I just put up will be controversial. If you have a different perspective, or a bad experience with a board that has a chairman, please feel free to weigh in.
Also – I’m still thrashing around a little with Writely and its blog posting feature, so if you got two copies of the post in your feed (one starting with the title “Rob Shurtleff – a”, please ignore that one – the correct post is “Board of Directors: The Chairman.”
And – no – not all of the boards I sit on have a Chairman.

Hi Brad,
I zoned in on your Board of Directors category, as it really interests me. I’m on 3 boards, run a company and like you … am married to an “amazing person”. I really like your blog and particularly like many of your entreprenuer blogs. You’re on my favorites list now!

Excellent site http://www.feld.com and I am really pleased to see you have this “http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/category/board-of-directors” post.
I am crrently working in the south of france looking at property for sale, having fun in the sun and bookmarking everything that I find interesting on the net (including http://www.feld.com of course !)
It has taken me literally 2 hours and 42 minutes of searching the web to find you (just kidding!) so I shall be pleased to become a regular visitor from now on
Thanks
