Good Governance: Answers to Your Burning Questions
January 23, 2011
Posted by chcablogadmin in : Boards, Leadership
Governance and Board management are paramount for most CEOs. It comes as no surprise that governance is the topic CEOs most want to discuss, debate and contemplate. Over the last year, the Executive Institute team has worked with many of you to try to identify the best way to approach governance at the Executive Dialogue meetings. This has been a challenging endeavor because all of you have a slightly different question you are trying to answer. Questions like…
“I want to understand more about generational differences among Board members. How do I bridge the gap and create alignment between the different generations?”
“How do I identify the RIGHT composition of Board members?”
“What is the best way to educate Board members?”
“How do I involve Board members in the overall strategy without having them get too involved in the day-to-day operations?”
And the list goes on…
Next week’s Executive Dialogue meeting should answer some of your most pressing questions when we are joined by Ram Charan, author of Owning Up – the 14 Questions Every Board Member Needs to Ask. Let me tell you why I think Ram holds the answers to some of your most pressing questions:
- He is the coauthor of the bestseller, Execution. He believes that GOOD GOVERNANCE first and foremost starts with GOOD LEADERSHIP.
- As a corporate governance adviser, Ram has worked with companies from all over the world. During his dialogue with you, he will address the 14 most troubling questions he has heard in the boardroom – and guess what, some of the questions are the same questions you are asking!
- Ram is going to explain why Boards must change their modus operandi to address the new and complex issues that are emerging in this rapidly changing environment.
- Finally, Ram is going to share his knowledge about leadership and governance with you and your peers in an intimate setting. He isn’t going to use PowerPoint. He isn’t going to lecture to you, AND he will involve you in the conversation.
