Sitting on a board requires more than understanding your legal responsibilities. Effective board members need to actively consider how they shape the boardroom dynamics – which are the real powerhouse of governance. This session with help you optimise how you collaborate, influence and disagree as a board member.
All boards requires strong governance expertise and sector insight, combined with strong business acumen. While strategic skills are crucial, the true effectiveness of a board lies in the dynamics between its members. This talk delves into how boards can operate cohesively to influence decisions, transform disagreements into constructive dialogue, and harness diverse perspectives for optimal outcomes.
