The role of the board is to run the business by exercising a vigorous and diligent supervision in crucial areas such as strategy and risk. But it cannot manage — or even micromanage the company’s operations by encroaching on management’s responsibility that are designed to help the CEO and executive team create value for shareholders.

Boards must have a clear structure and structure to be able to execute their tasks effectively. This includes a clear description of roles, from the chairperson to directors on their own, as well being able to use a standardized decision-making process for determining priorities and making decisions.

A sound board governance framework is also dependent on a well-practiced procedure for arranging meetings, which includes the agenda items. It also incorporates a robust governance system that clearly defines the purpose of the board, its purpose, relationship with management, as well as the authority it has. The framework also contains an explicit statement of the board’s values and standards, such as transparency, integrity and good communication.

The board should have a clear and concise plan to select and develop a CEO and overseeing succession planning. It should have a plan to handle urgent issues and be ready to shift its focus if needed. The board’s governance practices must be in sync with the business environment and the board needs to be in a position to anticipate and respond to the changes that are happening in today’s fast-paced, highly complex environment. In this regard, board members need to make an intense dedication of their time and effort to their work on the board.
