Thanks, Alan. The distinction I make is really about unifying people across diverse teams to create success. A Personal Board of Directors is certainly a powerful tool to have in your arsenal. The difference is that a Personal Board of Directors is meant to be a core group of trusted people who meet on a regular basis for mutual honest feedback and success. Creating alliances that work within organizations is about creating synergy between teams at a broader level. One similar key element is the identification of those stakeholders that may hold the same traits as a member of your Personal Board of Directors.
