What NOT to do as a Board Director
It is well known that NACD helps directors to be skilled and prepared. But NACD also is a trusted resource for what NOT to do as a director. Read "A Field Guide to Bad Directors" from NACD Directorship magazine for a close look at the behaviors of the least effective and most distracting directors.
These bad actors suffer from inattention to detail, a narrow field of focus, entitled behavior, and inadequacy. Among the 14 types, the "Representative" can't see the big picture and instead focuses on one specific issue. The "Financial Stumbler" is comfortable with basic financial terminology, but becomes lost when the financial discussion turns technical. The "Questioner" claims to ask tough questions but is really hiding a lack of preparation.
We'll never rid the world of bad directors. But if you are a member of NACD, you’re not likely to be one of them.
