How Senior Leaders Conduct Personal Board Audits

from Executive Careers with Fexingo: VP, C-Suite, and Senior Leadership Career Strategy · host Fexingo

In this episode of Executive Careers with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore the concept of a personal board audit—a structured review of the advisors, mentors, and peers a senior leader relies on for career guidance. Using the example of a fictional CFO named Sarah, they walk through how to assess whether your personal board has the right mix of industry expertise, functional diversity, and candor. Lucas explains why many executives unknowingly let their boards become echo chambers, and shares a specific framework: rate each member on three dimensions—candor, relevance, and accessibility. Luna adds a real-world anecdote about a CEO who replaced two board members and saw her promotion timeline accelerate by 18 months. The episode closes with actionable steps for listeners to conduct their own audit this quarter. #PersonalBoardAudit #CareerStrategy #SeniorLeadership #ExecutiveCareers #Mentorship #BoardOfAdvisors #CareerAdvice #LeadershipDevelopment #ExecutiveCoaching #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalNetwork #Candor #StrategicThinking #CLevel #VP #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
