Course description
In all industries across the various sector of the economy, board members chart the way forward for their diverse organizations. They make decisions that affect many people steadily, making their jobs precarious. For this reason, best corporate governance practices require board directors to improve their knowledge and skills through periodic training. However, having the proper knowledge and grooming for such a leadership position cannot be truly valued.
How do board members act?
Besides the stipulated role of every member of the board leadership, members are always expected to act as examples to employees and be thorough in their commitment to the company by acting and making decisions that only reflect positively on the company. This includes regular and punctual meeting attendance, due diligence at work, active participation in committees as parts or heads, and ensuring a smooth flow of communication from the employees and consumers to the executive director or chief executive officer.
