There are many things in life that you cannot prepare for but the board appointment process is not one of them. Finding Non-Executive Director opportunities can be challenging, gaining an appointment even more so as it is a highly competitive process.
Non-executives often describe finding their first directorship as an arduous and time-consuming process. More experienced Directors suggest finding subsequent board roles equally challenging. For this reason, 4 years ago, I wrote the first Board Appointments book.
This book has helped many on their journey to a seat on a board. Last year I updated the information in the book and also added a lot more information. Board Appointments: The Definitive Guide to Gaining a Non-Executive Directorship is a unique and invaluable guide to everyone looking for a board role. Regardless of your approach, the process of finding and being appointed to a board takes a certain amount of skill and practice. This book provides practical advice, clearly written from the perspective of an experienced board recruiter, to help get you on a board.
Specifically, it addresses how to:
⇒ Define your board profile
⇒ Articulate your Board Profile – your pitch
⇒ Create personal connections that lead to board appointments
⇒ Write a successful board application
⇒ Know questions to expect in a board interview
⇒ Know how to respond to board interview question
⇒ Learn what due diligence you should do once offered a role
Importantly, it will give you an insight into the board appointment process that only Chairs and recruiters know.
