Leadership and governance

How the board and leadership team are set up, who decides what, and the reporting a board needs to hold management to account.

The questions we take on

  • Who should sit on the board, and which decisions belong to it.

  • How to plan the succession of an owner or managing director.

  • What information the board needs each month to hold management to account.

  • How to divide responsibility when an owner steps back from running the business.
