It’s true that it is literally four quick tips. The author, Ralph Ward, picks out four topics you can focus on to improve Board performance. He covers:
The value of an independent director
Board procedure – agenda, minutes, meeting pack
Sharpen board leadership – the competence of the Chair.
Succession planning
While he comes at it from both an American governance perspective and a larger corporate view, his tips are applicable to any sized Board in New Zealand.
