Leadership Training - July 2026 Situation

THE LEADERSHIP TRAINING/MENTORING CORNER

In the August 2025 Newsletter, we started a series called “The Leadership/Mentoring Corner” in which we posed a thought-provoking situation for you to think about and put yourself into, asking yourself, “What are your next steps?” 

JULY LEADERSHIP SITUATION

Barry has just accepted a position at a 30-year-old technology industry business. The position he accepted is a newly created position that reports to the Board of Directors and is charged with developing a new corporate culture for the business and implementing a management team concept, something the business has never had before.

Barry has an MBA from a major Ivy League college and has worked in the people and culture space for a large energy industry leader for 10 years. 

What should Barry's next steps be with the Board?

Please provide us with a brief write-up of What should Barry'snext steps be. Send your write-up to Lynn Rosado at [email protected] 

In our August 2026 Newsletter, a team of Silver Fox Advisors will provide responses to what they would have recommended to Barry that he should do based on the situation detailed above. 

If you need assistance in becoming a better leader, I recommend you start by contacting the Silver Fox Advisors. Silver Fox Advisors are former or present business owners themselves, and they have leadership experience in running a business, and in some cases several businesses, and have dealt with unforeseen and unplanned situations throughout their careers. We encourage you to visit our website at www.silverfox.org to select a Silver Fox Advisor and also to learn more about the Silver Fox Advisors, as well as our great programs and community outreach endeavors.
