Creating an effective board
NEDs create an effective balance of skills, experience and leadership style. If the right people are hired against appropriate briefs and their performance is assessed in the same way as that of the executive team, the synergy created can make it the most cost-effective business improvement strategy available.
NEDs also have a vital part to play in:
- Enabling boards to perform effectively and make better corporate decisions, not only sending the right message to current shareholders and advisers but also making the company more attractive to future investors.
- Bringing knowledge and experience to the board, whether in the context of the company's own industry sector or on matters such as international markets, financial transactions, technology or public affairs.
- Raising the quality of board debate and decision making on matters such as company policy, management organisation and staff development, incentives and appraisal.
- Supporting, and perhaps mentoring, the Chief Executive and other management team members, whilst maintaining independence and objectivity and ensuring the adoption of corporate governance best practice.
