The board leader can make the board meetings more effective.

Here are some points to consider: 

– Set up meetings that don’t conflict with holidays or heavy travel schedules
– Send out the board package in time for review
– Focus the agenda on the top issues
– Demand the attention of the board members and discourage distractions
– Facilitate the discussions to ensure the topic is well covered
– Make sure everyone gets their say
– Extract an action plan from the meeting so the company can move forward
– Board members have a fiduciary duty to the company
– They must put the board’s interest above their own
– They must act in good faith with no ulterior motives
– Finally, the board member must exercise good business judgment
