A board of directors oversees the governance of a company and assists in implementing the company’s strategy. It will also ensure that the company operates in a legal manner and is in the best interests of shareholders and other stakeholders. The board could comprise a mix of inside and outgoing members, each elected for a set term. The ideal board is diverse, well-rounded and includes a broad range of skills, experiences and backgrounds. They should reflect the company’s most important values and demonstrate a commitment to the goals.
In addition to providing guidance and leadership boards must be willing to accept risks and make difficult decisions. They should also demonstrate an understanding and ability to work in a team-oriented way. They should be able articulate the vision and direction for their company and know how to create and implement a plan of action.
Boards should be prepared to respond quickly to changes in the business and social settings. They must be proactive in the areas of risk and opportunity, financial management, and talent management.
To create a strong board, it is an ideal idea to build a database of candidates who are qualified and invite candidates to apply as soon as vacancies arise. It’s as easy as posting a LinkedIn job advertisement or sending out an email message.
