So, what makes a great board meeting?It is a combination of asking the tough questions, allowing all members of the board the opportunity to share their thoughts, providing structured time without the CEO present to do so, and making sure that both the board chair and all members are well prepared and equipped with the necessary materials ahead of time to allow for a smooth and efficient meeting. When the meeting is complete, a quick, private review with the board chair can be helpful to provide feedback on the meeting and how you can all improve for the next one. Don’t get discouraged if not every meeting goes as smoothly as you hoped or if you feel like you are in the hot seat more often than you are in the driver’s seat. Keep at it and remember that these board meetings are key to building successful companies.
