Evidence & Perspectives: Boards that Lead!

Boards that Lead: Is your board creating value—or destroying it?

The role of the corporate board has changed. Leadership at the top is being redefined as boards take a more active role in decisions that once belonged solely to the CEO. However, increased board control and involvement also has its downsides. It can create questions of authority and risks meddling in day-to-day operations. Directors need a new road map. Join us for a provocative in depth discussion on board leadership and how CEO’s of the future need to be different.

Featuring: George Mackenzie, the Non- Executive Chairman of American Water and Michael Useem, co-author of the upcoming book “Boards That Lead: When to Take Charge, When to Partner, and When to Stay Out of the Way” (Harvard Business Review Press, 2014).

Moderated by: Nancy Reardon, Former Director Warnaco, and Retired Chief HR and Communications Officer, Campbell Soup Company.
