A board of directors is responsible for providing oversight of a business and its governance practices and also provides support for the plan of action proposed by the management. They also ensure that the company is operating in compliance with the law and in the best interest of shareholders and other stakeholders. The board could be made by a mix of outsiders and insiders each elected to a specific term. The ideal board should be well-rounded and diverse in terms of expertise, experience, and background. They will represent the company’s essential values and show dedication to the organization’s mission.
Boards should also be able to take risk and make difficult decisions. They should also show an understanding of their fiduciary responsibilities and demonstrate the ability to work with others in a team-oriented manner. They should be able to communicate the vision and direction of their organization and understand how to formulate and implement a plan of action.
Boards must be prepared to respond quickly to changes in business and social situations. They must be proactive in the areas of potential and risk, talent management and corporate finance.
A great way to establish a strong board of directors is to build an applicant database of qualified candidates and inviting them to apply for positions when openings become available. This process is as easy as posting a job advertisement on LinkedIn or distributing an email announcement.
