Top 10 agenda for bestyrelsen: Kulturen er vigtig for bestyrelsens effektivitet

Spencer Stuart har opstillet ti agendaer for bestyrelsen i 2016. Der er ikke meget nyt under solen, men bestyrelsens kultur og ”tonen-på toppen” bliver stadig vigtigere: ” Attention to the board culture and its influence on board performance: Culture tends to be underappreciated as a component of board effectiveness. On boards with a strong, healthy culture, directors are well-prepared, participate in dynamic debate on core issues, tackle the issues that matter most and respect decisions once they are made. On troubled boards, directors do not devote sufficient attention to discussing issues and struggle to make important decisions, or there can be an environment where individuals place their own personal agendas and egos above the goals of the board. “There’s got to be trust,” said Kinney. “There’s got to be a working group and it’s got to work well, because if it’s not working well, that’s as much of a problem for the management team as it is for the board itself.”
