It shouldn’t be a guessing game whether or not we are on each other’s short list, we should just know. (I Didn’t Make the Short List!
I liked this article on the Vistage Executive Street Blog. It got me to thinking about who is my circle of trust or inner circle or short list.
Who do you trust without question - that they would do the "right" thing regardless of their hidden agenda or personal needs. Who has your back? That list for me is extremely small once I move beyond family members.
I have a lot of "friends" and close relationships - but who I do I really trust deep down to always do the "right " thing? When things go bad, who will stand beside you, who will go above and beyond to support you? This article caused me to pause and reflect - not many articles stop me cold in my tracks - this one did.
