A high-trust board–CEO relationship is one of the strongest predictors of organizational performance. Yet role ambiguity, unclear expectations, and misaligned engagement levels continue to undermine otherwise capable boards and CEOs. This executive session distills guidance from leading governance practices and recent NACD Blue Ribbon Commission insights to help directors intentionally design, strengthen, and sustain an effective partnership with their CEO.
Key Takeaways:
-
Gain executive-level insight into why board–CEO alignment is now a competitive imperative, which governance practices drive performance, and the pitfalls that undermine effectiveness.
-
Learn practical frameworks and tools you can use immediately to strengthen oversight, improve decision-making, and build organizational resilience.
-
Engage directly with the report’s architects through live discussion and Q&A.
This session delivers concise strategic intelligence and actionable solutions for directors leading in a time of transformational change.
