In the Boardroom, the Questions Matter Most
This IMD piece argues that the board's role is not to drive decisions but to shape how they are made, with asking the right questions being central to understanding the real issues. Drawing on Didier Cossin's work on board dynamics, it highlights how directors must resist the executive instinct to step in and instead sharpen scrutiny through disciplined inquiry. It is directly actionable for founders transitioning from executive to board oversight roles.
