Скачать или смотреть CEO Zones Webinar | The Secrets To Effective Boardroom Leadership with Ralph Ward

Effective board leadership is one of the most misunderstood — and most critical — roles in corporate governance. In this CEO Zones session, global governance expert Ralph Ward unpacks the real skills, habits, and behaviors that separate impactful board chairs from ineffective ones.

Drawing from four decades of boardroom experience, seven books on governance, and his international Boardroom Masterclass, Ralph explains why leading a board is nothing like running a company. With candid stories, practical tools, and lessons learned from thousands of directors, he shows what it truly takes to guide high-level decision making, strengthen oversight, and elevate board performance.

In this session, you’ll learn:
✔️ Why most board chairs step into the role with zero training
✔️ How great chairs use emotional intelligence, not authority
✔️ The leadership practices that strengthen board discussion and decision quality
✔️ Why the best board leaders speak less, not more
✔️ How to manage a room full of Type A executives without dominating them
✔️ The power of strategic silence and reflective listening
✔️ What CEOs get wrong when they try to “run” the board
✔️ Smart ways to handle combined CEO/Chair roles
✔️ How to use independent directors as your “board whisperers”
✔️ Why succession, transition planning, and outside perspectives matter
✔️ How new boards — especially spin-offs and founder-led companies — can build strong governance from day one

Ralph also shares insights from his new book, Hacking the Boardroom, including his seven habits of highly effective board chairs and his step-by-step approach to turning board leadership into a real discipline instead of an inherited title.

Whether you're a CEO, a board chair, a director, or a founder building your first board, this conversation offers a practical roadmap for stronger meetings, better decisions, and healthier governance.
