Achieving board effectiveness through strong leadership
The Leading from the Chair programme provides chairs with the opportunity to discover, share and practise techniques for achieving greater board effectiveness. Because the role of the chair in particular has assumed greater significance, visibility and complexity than in the past, an increasingly different skill set and distinctive form of engaged, informed and strong board leadership is required.
This programme is designed to sharpen your skills for leading an effective and high-performing board, which can effectively set and implement the company’s direction and strategy.
Our Participant Profile
Leading from the Chair focuses on the key role of the chair in leading the board of directors and relies on the exchange of ideas among participants with relevant experience. It is designed for the chairs and vice-chairs of boards of directors.

Chair and co-founder, Women on Boards UK
With increasing global complexity, I believe that boards should take a more active role in determining strategy and other questions that are too important to simply delegate to management. We are looking at exciting, changing times and I aim to continue leading boards for the next 10 to 15 years. Leading from the Chair has helped me to build the skills I will need for this next stage in my career.

Common to both programmes is the fact that they provide you with insights into best practice. They help you see what you are doing right but also what you need to do better. You get to see this surrounded by an international group of peers. You realise that ultimately we are all confronted with similar issues, and you learn to tackle them effectively.
