BOARDS of directors, CORPORATE governance, RANKING, and RATING
Abstract
The article offers information on board evaluations and boardroom performance. According to a study by The Miles Group and the Rock Center for Corporate Governance at Stanford University, directors rank their board 4 on a scale of 1 to 5 as far as effectiveness is concerned. According to the authors, a good board leader needs to be skilled at translating voice of the board to management.
In a new report released today, Diligent Institute and the Rock Center for Corporate Governance at Stanford University found that board directors consider both shareholder and stakeholder needs when making strategic decisions – reinforcing a stakeholder movement that embraces modern governance. The report, “Stakeholders Take Center Stage: Director Views on Priorities and Society,” includes responses and interviews with nearly 200 directors of public and private corporations globally. According to the survey, a vast majority of corporate directors (89%) believe it is important or very important for their company to consider the interests of non-shareholder stakeholders – such as employees, local communities, and the general public – as they work to achieve business objectives.
