Boards today face a thorny challenge: how to provide proper oversight of management while allowing it the autonomy it needs to be effective. Too often, boards maintain a single mode of engagement at all times, regardless of the type of decision to be made or its importance. This lack of flexibility can significantly undermine board effectiveness, especially in complex and rapidly changing situations. This article presents four modes of engagement—passive, mentor, partner, and control—along with the unique characteristics of each. The key to becoming an agile board is to understand that the appropriate mode of engagement depends on the decision to be made. Many factors can affect which board engagement mode is right for a given decision. However, the authors' research reveals that four are critical: impact on value, conflicts of interest, implications for the mission, and talent and capabilities. Ultimately, agile boards not only enhance their own effectiveness but also foster a more collaborative and productive relationship with management, driving improved outcomes for organizations and their stakeholders. That is not just a nice-to-have—it's a necessity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
