A high-quality board of directors with a range of talents and experiences can be a powerful resource for your company. Taking steps to ensure your board is well-designed, well-informed and properly engaged will reap significant benefits for your company. Our partners at BNY Mellon Wealth Management have developed a framework to help build and maintain an effective board. BNY Mellon Wealth Management is a critical sponsor of the work done by Family Enterprise USA.
|
The guidance and expertise offered by a high-quality board can lead to better decision-making, which in turn can lead to better long-term performance.
|
Ideally, your board should include members with a variety of expertise and backgrounds in order to foster productive discussions and unique perspectives on the business. A well-designed board should include at least a few independent members with experience relevant to your industry. For a family-owned business, consider having at a least one family member on the board who can represent the family's legacy and long-term vision for the company. And don't overlook gender and ethnic diversity.
|
|
Getting the most out of your board of directors requires keeping them engaged and informed. Your company's management team should be proactive and let them know what is going on at the company. Don't wait for your regularly scheduled board meetings to share information that you believe the board would want to know.
