The Value of Experience
"A friend of mine was talking to his dad one day. It was one of those unique father-son teaching moments where business wisdom moved a generation. He related how he was on the board of a large, international corporation and paid a lot of money to be there; overpaid, he felt, for the work he did.
One day at a board meeting one of the high-level managers presented a proposal to the board. He had worked long and hard on the project and was ready to move forward with the idea. It was one that would move the company in a new direction and require a shift away from past methods and a re-allocation of future resources. There was little room for error.
His father, having decades of experience in the industry, challenged the proposal, poking enough holes in it to reveal its flaws. He recommended the company not accept the proposal and the board followed his suggestion. At that moment he realized why he was there. The company's expense for him being on their board was small compared to what he gave them."
