Course Overview:
Directors have official responsibilities but they also tend to conform to the unique culture of their boardroom. Some cultures can promote board effectiveness, but others lead to conflict, complacency, or similar counterproductive behaviors. This course explains the concept of boardroom culture through an examination of real board case studies and discusses why directors should understand and monitor their own boardroom cultures.
Course Objectives:
• Learn how boardroom cultures develop and how they impact the board's effectiveness
• Learn what directors can do to limit threats and risks of a counterproductive culture
• Learn how boards should deal with risk and other unintended consequences
