Managers must manage their bosses well

摘要

A key role of a managing director is managing his or her board. A well-managed board can be a great source of support, expertise and different perspective. A badly managed board can consume large amounts of management time, delay the making of key strategic decisions and even lead to the removal of management altogether. It is in the best interests of the whole leader ship team to ensure that the board feels it is being heard, and that management is operating in a way compatible with the principles, intentions and strategic direction of the board.
