Individual directors and chair effectiveness: What it really takes

This webinar unpacks what truly drives individual director and chair effectiveness in today’s complex governance environment.

Gain real boardroom insights from Insync’s Executive Chair, Nick Barnett. Who has helped hundreds of boards, chairs and directors improve their performance. You’ll explore the mindsets, behaviours, and relationships that separate functional from exceptional performance. It’s going to be an interactive session where your thoughts and opinions will help shape the discussion.

Your first task? Complete this short 4-minute director survey before the webinar. Your responses will be combined with others, and the collective results will be shared during the webinar.

You’ll learn:

  • What more than 24,000 comments about 1,250 directors tells us about the effectiveness or otherwise of individual directors.
  • How to use the DRIVE (Direction, Relationships, Insight, Values and Execution oversight) framework to help you become a better director.
  • Why a Chair has an outsized impact on a board; and how to make that an impact for good.
  • How you as a director can have an outsized positive impact on your board.
