WHY BUILD A BOARD OF DIRECTORS?
"Everybody expects me to come up with all the ideas," said Steve Jobs.
"That’s not how you build a strong company."
PROMOTE ACCOUNTABILITY
Boards promote accountability across your organization. They provide a critical sounding board to test ideas, initiatives and strategies and prevent the "Emperor Has No Clothes" syndrome. Everybody has to report to somebody, and the board helps reinforce accountability and urgency.
DRIVE PERFORMANCE
Boards drive performance by forcing clarity about strategy and direction. They make the company prioritize initiatives and resources to achieve critical goals in a timely fashion. They eliminate distraction and encourage momentum in profitable directions.

EXTEND NETWORKS
Boards extend your connections and access to places and people you can't reach. They help you see the unseen, explore unknown territory and provide a litmus test on risk.
LEND CREDIBILITY
Board members lend credibility to customers, associates and stakeholders. With a board people know you are serious and professional - it raises your credibility in the marketplace.
Provide Air Cover
Boards untangle interpersonal challenges among team members, family, and equity shareholders. They provide "air cover" to the CEO for tough decisions ("the Board recommended"). They can help reconcile differences between management and shareholders, particularly with regard to resource allocation.
