Course Overview

What can be done to increase board effectiveness? In a corporation, the board of directors steers the ship on behalf of the shareholders or members. As a result, their primary responsibility is to establish the organization’s strategy, goal, and values while also ensuring that all applicable laws and corporate governance regulations are followed.

The Board of Directors has been entrusted with the duty of ensuring that the business is lucrative and viable because each shareholder has a stake in their individual institutions. Therefore, the role of the board of directors is to continually exercise oversight authority while ensuring the realization of the corporate strategic objective.

External directors, who are capable of rendering unbiased assessments, and functional directors, who carry out operational activities at the corporation, make up boards of directors. The highest building of all management teams must include a CEO, a CFO and a COO.

The senior management team of the business and the Board are both under the direction of the Board chair. Vice-chair or vice president, secretary, and treasurer are additional Board positions. Coopting board members to manage particular tasks results in the formation of ad hoc committees. The choice of committee members is put to a vote by the Board of Directors. Members have the choice to accept or reject nominees for committee positions.

Nine people make up the typical board. Most boards have three to thirty-one members. Seven is the optimum number. Two important board committees, made up of independent individuals, serve the Board. The board chairperson is the leader of the board of directors, while the CEO is the senior executive.
