Personal development is especially helpful for directors who have led an achievement-driven life and feel that there is a lack of balance in a number of personal areas: between mind and body, work life and home life, work and recreation, work life and spirit. The vast majority of directors I meet around the world think that they are out of balance on a combination of these dimensions and are struggling to find the time to rebalance themselves. Having a personal development agenda at least legitimizes the aspiration.
