Abstract

The collective effectiveness of boardroom teams cannot be assumed and has to be worked at. Boards operate in a business environment of change, uncertainty and insecurity. They are simultaneously confronted with multiple and inter-related challenges and new and unprecedented opportunities. The issues faced by many boards have also become more complex and may have a variety of short, medium and long-term impacts for many corporate activities and, in some cases, most stakeholder groups. They may require collective responses and have implications for how boards operate, governance arrangements and the motivation of directors who feel “out of their depth” and worry whether they are still relevant.
