Creating a 21st century board means making significant transitions towards more future-focused leadership behaviors and practices. Rethinking both how new directors are recruited and successfully retained can provide a progressive focus to a director search. Targeting candidates whose backgrounds speak to these areas will ultimately bring a honed perspective for competitive advantage. Here are a few areas to consider when thinking about your next board member:
Growth: Does the candidate have a track record in growth situations?
Innovation: Does the candidate have experience with innovative cultures?
Ambidexterity: Does the candidate have foresight into new markets while appreciating legacy positions?
