The Board That Actually Works

Twelve points that separate a real board from a reporting meeting.
Most family businesses that “already have a board” really have a reporting meeting: someone presents, everyone else listens, there’s coffee, and nobody decides anything. The difference between the two comes down to twelve specific points—and none of them costs money.

Twelve yes-or-no questions about how your board works today. You walk away with your assessment point by point, your level from 1 to 4, what’s missing in the order to fix it, and the annual agenda for the four meetings with the topics for each one. Printable, so you can take it to your next meeting.
