Board Governance Best Practices
The performance of your business or organization in the next millennium is highly dependent on the strength of its board and top executive alliance. Sometimes, however, undefined roles, inadequate communication, lack of a strategic plan, unclear policies and decision-making boundaries, and other distractions can severely impair the board and top executive alliance. When this occurs, a corporation or nonprofit organization can experience severe setbacks in performance.
The ability of the board and top executive to mutually understand and respect each other’s roles is critical for long-term success. This requires clear definition of their respective duties and decision-making boundaries. In addition, their ability to “think outside of the box,” formulate strategy, and execute plans, helps assure their organization’s future. A strong alliance between an organization’s board of directors and its top executive is required in today’s fast-paced and dynamic marketplace. This partnership is the cornerstone for success today and in the next millennium.
