In this feature for Entrepreneur, leadership advisor Anthony Moss explores why even the most capable CEOs can find decision-making at the top to be an isolating experience — a state he calls being “commercially lonely.”
Drawing on more than 30 years of advising growth-focused companies, Moss explains how Advisory Boards offer a practical antidote to that isolation — providing CEOs with an independent sounding board, sharper decision-making capability, and renewed confidence in complex times. Through this lens, he reframes Advisory Boards not as a formality or governance layer, but as a powerful structure for perspective, challenge, and support — helping leaders avoid costly mistakes and lead with clarity.
