Optimal Board Delegation

In their efforts to provide oversight, so many well-meaning boards unnecessarily handcuff their CEOs. Unfortunately, the results are lost efficiencies and opportunities.

Join Richard Stringham as we explore the delegation spectrum and see how so many boards are stuck in the approval trap: somewhere between rubber stamping and micromanaging.

Where does your board fit? And more importantly, what does it aspire to be? Those to whom your board is accountable (see my video: 6 Governance Principles Every Board Should Apply) deserve to get optimal results from the operations team. That takes place when the board’s delegation is optimal.

At The Governance Coach™we believe that truly responsible boards seek to shape meaningful futures.

  • Your board and management can have distinct, yet complementary lanes.
  • Your board can be confident that it has sufficiently covered organizational risks.
  • Instead of too much time in the past or present, your board can build future foresight.
