What We Will Talk About
Brian Hayward, author of “The Great Chair”, will share his insights on why Board chairs are more important than ever for effective governance and will cover the following board leadership fundamentals:
- How effective board chairs engage colleagues to reach consensus,
- How effective chairs lead the board so the board, in turn, fosters organizational effectiveness,
- The trick to ensure a focus on the highest priorities, and
- How to build and sustain trust in the CEO and within the board.
Facilitator
Brian Hayward has been involved in managing and governing organizations for close to forty years, almost exclusively at the c-suite and board level. He’s conducted business on every continent…except Antarctica.
All told, he has been involved in 500+ board meetings, in a host of capacities: as a senior executive, as CEO, as junior board member, as senior committee chair, and frequently as board chair. Whether it has been in the role of Chief Executive, director, or chair, he has played a key role in major transitions—involving changes to ownership, strategy, governance—at times, where the decision dynamics included organizational survival.
