What if I could give you some great strategies for being a successful board member in just 10 minutes? Today, I will do just that. Mike Welborn, Board Chair of Honor Health, former president and board member of PF Chang’s joins me on our Ten-on-One podcast. Mike always gives great advice and the podcast below is no exception. Here are a few teasers from our conversation.
— Be well prepared – How you measure success is what you do in between the board meetings, not just during them.
— Be actively engaged – Encourage people to speak up. Seek feedback from other board members. Once a year, each board member on Mike’s board is interviewed for their feedback.
— Read the room – Have some sense of what is going on and do not just stick to your script if it’s not necessary.
— One size does NOT fit all – Look at each board situation with fresh eyes.
I always love talking with Mike and hope you enjoy the wisdom he shares.
