The Changes Your Board Faces:

Boards have never had to deal with more uncertainty – from global upheaval to difficult labor markets, from uncertain economic conditions and inflation to rapidly changing workplace dynamics. All while stakeholders are laser-focused on how boards will address these issues.

It is now more imperative than ever that your board be at the top of its game. With expert guidance, your board can ensure that all your directors are prepared for the vast responsibilities that fall on their shoulders.

How Coaching Can Help Your Board:

Chief Executive Coaching’s Board of Directors services can develop a path forward on a number of challenges:

Central to your board’s health is a clear mutual understanding of the role of the board and each director. A coach can come in to perform assessments and engage in conversations with each individual director to enhance self-awareness and sensitivity and respect the different styles of each board member.

It’s imperative that the board and CEO are pulling in the same direction. When you partner with a coach, they can help make sure your CEO is clear on the strategy, mission, goals and priorities that your board has set in place.

45% of directors think someone on their board should be replaced. How can you get out ahead of this and work with a director to get them up-to-speed? A coach can bring an outside perspective and work with a director to enhance their performance.

When done properly, succession planning can allow your board to think more broadly, revealing opportunities to accelerate priorities, seize a moment for competitive advantage or make a wholesale shift. A coach can help reveal these rare opportunities.

There are a lot of variables when it comes to onboarding your new CEO. Outside hire or internal promotion? Is the outgoing CEO staying on for the transition? Is this hire a strategic shift? A coach can come in to help you design an onboarding program that makes sense for the unique moment your company is going through.

With so many heavily experienced, former executives coming together from diverse backgrounds, it’s natural that tensions may rise, but it’s also critical that your board is able to overcome these issues efficiently and effectively. A coach can mediate these disagreements and help your board find common ground in its mission to advance the company.

As a new public company board member, building a foundational understanding of the unique oversight responsibilities and challenges U.S. public company boards face is critical in order to develop immediate trust with fellow board members—and all its stakeholders. A coach can help with the onboarding process and ensure your new director is able to add value in the boardroom from day one.

How Our Board Program Works:

We begin with a detailed conversation to understand your board’s specific goals and challenges. This ensures we match you with the coach who not only has the right expertise but also aligns with your vision. You and your board will have the opportunity to meet your coach before the assignment begins to ensure you are confident there’s a good fit.

Chief Executive Coaching’s Board of Directors services are flexible, recognizing the fluid nature of business. Designed to maximize value and minimize time invested, you’ll have regular meetings, stakeholder check-ins, and quarterly reviews that are structured to fit into your directors’ demanding schedules, ensuring continuous progress towards your goals.

With Chief Executive Coaching's Board Program, you're not just investing in guidance—you're investing in your leadership team, your employees and your stakeholders.
