In the second part of this two-part conversation, TMG CEO Stephen Miles and Senior Managing Director John Nasr delve deeper into strategies for strengthening board relationships and fostering productive dialogue. They discuss how leaders can empower their senior teams to present confidently in front of the board and why having an independent-thinking CFO and General Counsel is critical to avoid the appearance of being surrounded by “yes people.” The episode also explores managing aggressive or combative board members, leveraging a strategic framework, and building a strong relationship with the lead director. This season finale delivers essential strategies to elevate your leadership and board interactions. We’ll be back with fresh episodes in the new year.
