BOARD DIRECTORSHIP
“Traditionally, board performance has been measured by financial metrics; shareholder returns, Return On Investment (ROI), or return on assets. We found that the real culprit detracting from board success is ineffective board functioning. Solid leadership promulgates board member motivation and participation. Incorporating practices to facilitate group synergy will ultimately yield happier and more efficient boards”.
