*We “Asked the Audience” and will address your
Trickiest Board/Management Challenges!

With different jobs to do, boards and management should still function as a team. Too often, it can feel like the board is on one side and the management is on the other. Sometimes directors are at odds with each other, the CEO or the chairman (think HP!)

Using real life examples, personal experience and in reaction to YOUR most pressing concerns, our panel of seasoned directors and communications experts will cover the consistent themes that emerged from the survey:

  • How to develop more trust and respect between the board and management.
  • How to communicate sensitive information.
  • How to drill down to the real issues--quickly.
  • How to get timely, accurate information from company leadership.
  • How to ensure that directors educate themselves on the issues and come prepared to board meetings.
  • How to successfully address and manage conflict.

You will take away practical tools to help "bridge the gap" and improve the relationship between directors and management.

Bring your questions! There will be plenty of time for audience
Q & A.
