Learn how the boardroom functions and become a more effective director and/or executive supporting a Board of Directors. A strong Board of Directors presents any organization with the opportunity to achieve a point of competitive differentiation, yet sadly, the reality is just the opposite - boards that are overly cautious and caught up in the semantics of governing. Executives and directors should be working cooperatively to maximize the contribution of their board and individual directors. These collective talents can meaningfully improve strategic management, leadership development, and organizational performance.
