Who has your back?

We recently completed our fourth Wilson Lumber Board of Directors meeting. Forming a Board wasn’t easy, it didn’t even begin all that great. There were speedbumps but it certainly has been for the best and has paid dividends already.

What it has meant is a lot of information sharing, them challenging me on how we can improve, a little of me and my team bragging about things we do great, and a lot more.

This group of people is united around one thing: A healthy Wilson Lumber.

There’s much more to say about the Board, but the point for now is I have four other professionals who have my back, who share my interests, and who want the best for my team and me. And that, in the words of Max in Mission Impossible, is like a warm blanket.

My question for you is this: Who is around you that has your back? I certainly hope that we are a part of it, that we would go to bat for you if needed. But past that, I’d encourage you to do the hard work of investing in relationships that you know can help you, even if it’s not a formal Board of Directors.

Profit is great, efficiency is great. But at the end of the day, the thing that matters is people, and the relationships you have. Let us know how we can help.
