What I wish more boards knew

"Trusting your colleagues around the table is the cornerstone to being able to make wise and effective decisions."

What I've learned

"No two organizations are the same, and there is no one solution that will fix every problem."

Most dangerous myth

"A good board manual will fix all your governance issues."
