I was posed this question recently by an organization that is on a steep growth curve. The leadership team is working like crazy just to keep everything afloat… and they are on a quest to be “the best.” My response was simply that your choice of BOD committees demonstrates what’s important to the leadership of the organization. If you want your team to value safety, health, environment, and sustainability, then you have to do more than write it in your mission and values statements… you have to live it, demonstrate it. \
People, Financials, and Auditing are essential to every business, and thus they warrant standing committees on most BOD’s. So, what’s important to you?
In a career that has allowed me to work with and for some of the best… I have found this to be a differentiator between everyone else and “The Best”
Thoughts and Challenges are always welcome…
