How to take the friction out of board meetings

Why do some chairs lead productive meetings whilst others struggle? This webinar explores practical tools you can apply before and during meetings to remove friction and ensure your board operates as a cohesive decision-making team.

Every director will recognise the feeling of frustration when their board is stuck in a loop of disagreements, unable to make a decision, or struggling to remain focus on the decision rather than the impediments to progress. Few directors have a toolkit of actions they can take to remedy the situation and help the chair to regain the meeting’s momentum.

Learn how to focus the board on the issues rather than the dissent and how to make your meetings meaningful opportunities to share and develop ideas in this online professional forum
