Hey Rosa,
I liked the question you posed,
"Who gives you your second opinions?
How do you go about getting those opinions?
When do you listen, and when do you go your own way?
How else do you follow up?"
I enjoy how it leaves it open for discussion and letting you decide your own path on answering them. It's important to ensure each leader can get to the answers appropriately as well.
What advice would you offer to ensure a leader answers these questions in the best way possible?

Great post. I try to surround myself with coaches who I trust, but who will also call me on things and challenge me.

I've been thinking about your question William, and Sharon, I think your comment is very much in line with what my advice would be: I think leaders have to ask themselves about contextual influence when they consider the second opinions they will receive. People will often tell a leader what they believe he or she wants to hear versus “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.”
