Overview
Board dynamics is critical to board effectiveness. It is a function of having an appropriate board composition in terms of skills, competencies, experience and diversity; effective leadership from the Chair and where applicable the senior/lead independent director; and a culture of mutual respect, trust and constructive dissent.
This workshop will discuss the factors that influence board dynamics; how to identify dysfunctional board cultures that may harm board dynamics; board practices and processes that are critical for ensuring healthy board dynamics (including the role of the nominating committee); and building a mutually respectful and trusting relationship with management while discharging fiduciary duties.
- Understand the importance of healthy board dynamics and the factors that influence board dynamics;
- Identify signs of dysfunctional board dynamics that undermine board effectiveness, critical faultlines and strategies for avoiding them;
- Understand the important attributes of the Chair (and senior/lead independent director where applicable) that affect board dynamics;
- Understand good practices in the board and nominating committee (such as search and nomination processes, succession planning and board assessments) for improving board dynamics;
- Understand the importance of a trusting and collaborative relationship with management while verifying and constructively challenging to discharge duties.
