Board Chair Performance Evaluation

No individual board member has more influence on board culture and performance than the board chair.  Yet, most boards do not conduct formal performance evaluations of their chairs.  Effective boards strive to oversee their chairs; while ineffective boards are controlled by them.  Periodically assessing board chair performance can help board's oversee their chairs and make a good chair even better. Board chair performance evaluation is a governance best practice.  In this webinar governance expert Jamie Orlikoff reviews the rationale for board board chair evaluation, and outlines the step by step process for establishing an effective and productive board chair evaluation process.
