Case 7: Increasing Board Effectiveness

Following several years of erratic leadership and executive officer turnover, the board of directors of a large organization sought assistance in assessing their leadership effectiveness. An assessment strategy using the Hallmarks of Excellence^® in Leadership instrument was initiated which focused on the board members’ leadership traits and team building effectiveness.

The findings were instrumental in establishing a board of directors profile identifying desired traits when recruiting new members and were used for training and developing existing board members to improve their overall effectiveness.
