A question was raised about the idea of having "many leaders" in the organization, on tasks, in projects specifically how and why each BOD member should be an organizational leader. Each BOD member has a unique role. And with that role we can imagine a special kind of "glasses" that each of those members look through while leading the organization.

1. CEO
2. CIO
3. CFO
4. CMO
5. HRO
6. BM
7. CDO Leaders

1. When the CEO looks at a project or CDO as a whole, she/he is most concerned with the vision, what to do, why we're doing it, and keeping the group together as a team, motivating the team, and keeping an overall eye on any problems that may arise helping to delegate each person to their place in the leadership process.  She/he is looking through CEO glasses.

2. When the CIO looks at a project or CDO as a whole, she/he is most concerned with keeping information in a secure manner, organized, in a usable way, that is both efficient and effective, easy to access, and that prior decisions are upheld, while negative decisions are moved away from. She/he is looking through the CIO glasses.  (CIO is also responsible for maintaining www.gzcdo.com)

3. When the CFO looks at a project or CDO as a whole, she/he is most concerned with our financial position. He/she is to make sure we are in a positive light financially, that we are making progress and moving forward. He/she is concerned with financial risk, forecasting returns, and overall financial stability of the projects and every expense or income report as she/he sees fit. She/he is looking through the CFO glasses.

4. When the CMO looks at a project or CDO as a whole, she/he is most concerned with the most fundamental of marketing theories. The 4 P's of marketing. She/he is concerned with the actual product or service in each project, the price of those products and services, how we  promote products and services, and the place we are selling those products and services. She/he is looking through the CMO glasses.

5. When the HRO looks at a project or CDO as a whole, she/he is most concerned with the employees that she/he has chosen and cares about most. She/he is concerned with what staff needs to be where, how many, what they are doing, what they shouldn't be doing. She/he is concerned with the employees well being, including the BOD, she/he is taking care of them, watching them, making sure they are satisfied and making sure they satisfy our needs. She/he is finding the right candidates, finding new ways to find the right candidates to put into the right position, and keeping them there. She/he is looking through the HRO glasses. (HRO is also responsible for maintaining www.cnycorp.com)

6. When the BM/ or project presidents are looking at a project or CDO as a whole, she/he is most concerned with doing a good job, the job that was given to them, described by the BOD. She/he is looking at how well the CDO is doing as a whole, and enjoys the work they are doing, being part of a successful team, and creating something for the future. BM is business manager, who is most concerned with how to manage their business, how to make it excel above and beyond BOD expectations. BM is concerned with communicating with clients, reaching more clients, growth, and achievements. BM is looking through the BM glasses.

8. When each person makes decisions (CDO) for the group (CDO) or gives suggestions for improvement it is because they themselves are looking through their own glasses and see something in a way that the other members are unable to see. When each person comes together in the board room wearing their own glasses, evaluating past, current, or future decisions made by the group based on what they see through their glasses, then and only then, can CDO see clearly.

If when you look through your glasses, and you have looked clearly enough, and there is nothing for you to do, then look again. If again there is nothing for you to do, keep monitoring, keep evaluating, keep following along, all decisions and all processes while looking through your glasses until you find something for yourself to do, something to make better, something to change, something to fix, something to stop doing based only on the glasses that you wear.

If any senior executive member is not informed enough about any part of CDO  or any CDO project and cannot see clearly through their glasses, that someone is responsible for asking their own questions based on what they see, or want to see. Each BOD member, senior executive and staff member has every right in the world and is obligated to make suggestions, ask questions, and improve CDO and yourself because the glasses you wear are very important and help us all see  a little better.
