Empowering companies to succeed by using a non-executive chair
Is your company board facing these challenges?
- Business Growth – exhilarating or painful?
- MBO/ Company Sale/ Flotation – exciting or foreboding?
- Family Business – conflicting and emotional?
- Business Distress – worrying and debilitating?
- Acquisition Expansion – invigorating or apprehensive?
- Direction – exciting or frustratingly aimless?
- Board Effectiveness – firmly positive, irritatingly lacklustre or annoyingly dysfunctional?
- Shareholder Relationship – outstandingly aligned or dauntingly deteriorating?
What a Non-Exec Chair Can Do for You?
A Non-Exec Chair brings an outside perspective and contribute to the strategic leadership of the board, having the ability to stand apart from the management of the company to bring objectivity to the decisions and dilemmas facing the Board.
They are there to be a cohesive and influential member of the Board whilst maintaining an independent view.
A Non-Exec Chair has extensive and wide-ranging business experience.
