Chairing Boards

Learn how to use forward-thinking strategies to engage and empower your board members to achieve higher levels of performance and contribution.

The days when a board chair’s primary role was to run board meetings are long gone. Today’s chairs must be fully immersed, extremely well-informed and strong leaders. They need to navigate an ever-increasing number of demands in drastically compressed timeframes - all under the lens of social media.

The demands on chairs are constantly increasing, from shaping inclusive and informed decision making, setting strategy, acting as an intermediary with the CEO, management and other stakeholders, and assessing the composition of the board to evaluating the performance of directors and holding them accountable for both their actions and inactions. As the stakes continue to rise, this course will equip chairs with the essential skills required to be an effective leader of the board.
