Why might Boards or a CEO use a coach?

Working with a board can be one of the most nuanced and strategic responsibilities a CEO has. A CEO coach can play a pivotal role in helping a CEO manage these dynamics effectively.

While boards play a key role in corporate oversight, they can be less effective in working with CEOs in several areas. Areas where a CEO coach with Board experience can help include:

·      Helping a CEO navigate Board dynamics and strong personalities

·      Clarifying roles and responsibilities

·      Developing a high-performing board culture

·      Setting up for highly charged or sensitive topics

·      Balancing engaging the Chair vs individual Board members

·      Using the time with the Board wisely

·      Considering the quantity and quality of Board information

·      Balancing the input one receives from different Board members

·      Working with your executives on Board committees effectiveness
