A great board is a strong team of people, who when they meet:
- build time to anticipate and address a longer term future, the challenges and opportunities
- ask the right questions, listen keenly and respect different views
- encourage creative risk taking and entrepreneurialism
- work well together as a team, exercising collective responsibility
- do not interfere in detail.
We need to attract and retain people of the right calibre, who are interested and effective as a team. Yet the format and cycle of our board meetings may focus on standing agendas and routines that do not engage board members. Here, we introduce approaches that enable you to generate powerful decisions and far reaching results in your meetings and conversations.
