How to Have Productive and Engaging Board Directors Meetings

how to run a board of directors meeting

Board directors play a critical role in the development of your business. They can provide feedback, support or even make decisions that will shape the direction of your business. Therefore, it’s crucial to hold effective board meetings. How do you achieve this?

Begin with the Most Important Items

Your board meeting should focus on how to implement the strategy of your company. This is the ideal time to present concrete KPI goals, which can be tracked and measured. Examples include net promoter scores and sales by region. This will ensure that your board is on the same page with the other employees and will work together to achieve common goals.

Don’t Get Lost

Distractions from new discussion topics during the board meeting can easily take up meeting time and distract board members from the most important agenda items. The chair should instead open the meeting with a brief summary of the most important inputs that will be sought during the meeting. This includes reiterating important points from the meeting’s pre-meeting call and the board package.

If a new topic is brought up that’s not an issue, you can shift it to the final item on the agenda or schedule it to be discussed after an interruption. This will avoid the topic from being ignored and give the impression that the board is open to new ideas.
