I am often asked by board chairs for suggestions on reading materials that will help enhance the effectiveness of their board. I thought today’s blog post would be a good opportunity to share several of these suggestions.
Corporations at every level should engage in some form of annual “Board Development” – a chance for the directors to step-back from the business, assess how they are doing collectively as a board and discuss/learn how they can improve upon their performance . And although board excellence can only be achieved by a concerted effort from each individual director to want to work together in the best interests of the corporation’s stakeholders, the above resources can serve as a great inspiration to that end.
