Some boards of directors provide dynamic and effective leadership
that can be felt throughout the organization.
Others are “like parsley on fish – decorative but useless” (to quote Irving Olds).

In this workshop we will explore the characteristics of high-performing boards and how you can enhance the performance of your own board of directors.
