Episode 54: The Role of an Advisor
“It is very lonesome at the summit!”
“Like a man’s life, when he has climbed to eminence.” — Nathaniel Hawthorne, 1860
Even when we reach the top, we’re not alone. We always have others to call upon, even if they’re not colleagues.
Trusted advisors keep us focused, remind us of the importance of relationships, help us keep our egos in check, and help us become lifelong learners and servants.
