Ralph Ward is the editor of the Corporate Board Magazine and an expert in corporate governance. He’s the author of six books on corporate governance and board issues. I asked him to join me on the show to talk about best practices for private company boards.

It’s about governance and strategic guidance. Boards aren’t just for large public companies. Even newer, privately held firms can benefit from having a board. Boards also get involved in CEO succession planning. We address challenges faced by family businesses and how boards can help navigate these complexities.

Enjoy this Succession Stories episode about why your company might need a board with Ralph Ward.

  • Corporate governance and board formation in private companies.
  • Board formation in private companies often delayed until crisis strikes
  • Private companies can bring in outside directors with experience in succession planning to help founders navigate family dynamics and ensure a smooth transition.
  • Advisory boards can help with succession planning and governance in family businesses.
  • Advisory boards can provide outside perspectives and help with growth stage challenges in companies.
  • Tips and tools for dealing with drama in the boardroom and improving corporate governance.
  • Advisory boards can provide valuable networking opportunities for companies, connecting them with important people in their industry.
