"Instead of managing day-to-day operations, you focus on guiding strategy, asking difficult questions, and holding leadership accountable. This shift builds sharper judgment and a more systemic perspective. At LIS, we emphasize exactly this kind of lens-shifting: learning to step back, reframe problems, and draw from multiple disciplines to see the bigger picture. Fidoe told ZDNET that the benefits of this lens-shifting process are twofold. First, professionals sharpen their ability to think strategically without being consumed by day-to-day execution."
"Senior executives are so busy transforming their businesses that it's difficult to make room for experiences beyond the firewall. However, evidence suggests that non-executive director positions can help leaders to develop their skills. In fact, as the business leaders below suggest, senior executives can expand their knowledge and capabilities by getting involved with other organizations, such as educational institutions and public administrations. Here are five ways you can profit from sharing your know-how with others."
Non-executive director roles let senior executives see organizations from the outside and concentrate on strategy rather than daily operations. Lens-shifting encourages stepping back, reframing problems, and drawing from multiple disciplines to perceive the bigger picture. Practiced in this way, non-executive work sharpens strategic judgment and widens understanding of how different sectors and organizations operate. The roles also create opportunities to build networks, form useful contacts, and derive personal satisfaction from giving back. Non-executive positions deliver the greatest value once substantial executive experience has been established.
