Roles, responsibilities and dynamics of the board

Being a director in any organisation is tough – combining legal duties and responsibilities with expectations of successful leadership. As the role of director is very different from that of manager this course provides a performance improvement template for experienced and new directors, as well as those aspiring to the position. It combines a review of the latest governance hot topics with practical tips and advice on how best to discharge the directors’ legal and oversight duties. It is practical and interactive throughout with examples drawn from headline cases and real-life experience. Delegates will gain a better understanding of the roles, responsibilities and dynamics of the boardroom.
