03 / Board and CEO relationships

Build a more productive board–CEO relationship.

When the board and CEO see their responsibilities differently, ordinary decisions can become difficult. We help you understand the source of the tension and work toward an agreement that makes sense day to day.

What the work can help clarify
  • The responsibilities causing concern
  • The information the board needs
  • A workable understanding of each other’s role

A full agenda can leave little time for the questions that matter. We look at how your board prepares, discusses issues, and follows through, then help put useful changes into practice.

What the work can help improve
  • Preparation for important discussions
  • How the board uses its meeting time
  • Clarity and follow-through after decisions

Ongoing advice

Someone to think it through with.

Some questions benefit from a continuing conversation. We can provide ongoing advice as priorities change, new issues arise, and the board and leadership team put changes into practice.

Support might include

  • A regular check-in with the chair and CEO
  • A read of major items before they reach the board
  • Time to reflect on how the board is working
  • Support when a new chair or CEO arrives
