FAQS
Why Boardroom Performance?
With Enron, Sarbanes Oxley, board liability, leadership has shifted from the “imperial CEO model” to collaborative leadership in the boardroom. Everyone in the boardroom is responsible for the success of the organization. Even private companies and non profits are evaluating crisis issues, making major decisions and taking actions in the boardroom. The boardroom could be a conference room, commissioner’s public hearing, university trustee meeting room, or regulator’s office. Most importantly, stakeholders, investors, regulators, donors and plaintiffs are not only holding those in the boardroom accountable, but personally liable for damages. All of this means that everyone in the boardroom, Chair, Directors, CEO, executive teams, employees trusted advisors, investor and other stakeholders must raise their level of performance to help the organization survive and prosper and protect themselves against liability.
