How Many Questions

February 27, 2010

I miss the second board meeting since my diagnosis with a brain tumour. The first occurred just before my surgery, when I was in no mental shape to do more than send regrets. For this one I determine to prepare in my usual way. I started to make notes and then realize I can’t even read my handwriting.  I switch to a keyboard – quci8ly reoao8z8 … You see what I mean?

No more could I construct one question per report and wade into every debate. Instead I resolve to limit myself to where I add unique value. Three questions and I am done.

Post script: I receive the feedback. Only one question added unique value. Maybe this brain tumor will make me a better director.
