Some people dread the kind of oversight our review board provided, seeing it as someone watching over their shoulders, breathing down their necks. I saw it as taking advantage of valuable, expert advice, and I saw the board members as advisers, not judges. I also find it a lot more intriguing and challenging to convince somebody who’s skeptical of something I’ve proposed than it is to convince myself that they don’t know what they’re talking about. The challenge of winning them over makes the person who doesn’t understand you much more interesting.
