Board of directors meetings are where the key decision-makers of the company meet to make decisions and review the situation. They also set the direction of how an company will develop. These decisions can have a significant impact on the company, from determining management team composition, to establishing company policies and even giving stock option grants. This is a crucial moment for the business and demands the collective wisdom of its most influential leaders to guide the company through complex decision making.

The process starts with scheduling the date for the meeting that is suitable to enough people to constitute a quorum, but also tries to avoid conflicts with key members who can offer unique perspectives on issues to be addressed. The next step is to create the board’s package, which includes all relevant financial information, statistics and projections. Boards can develop their own packages with online tools like Google Docs, which can include a voting system and be collaborative.

At the meeting itself, the board goes over the minutes of the previous meeting and discusses any new business that has arisen. Directors who have potential conflicts of interest are asked to disclose these conflicts and disengage themselves from the discussion. After the main items are discussed any other procedural motions such as the ratification of the minutes are taken care of and the board may adjourn.

It’s easy to forget that even though your fellow board members are influential, they’re also simply people. They’ll have their own opinions and strengths as well as weaknesses. They might not be as clever or thoughtful as you believe they are, and they may become frustrated and confused, and they will be like everyone else whining. ).
