Reto Jauch, in his publication, argues that a Board’s role is often both over- and underestimated. While Boards don’t manage daily operations, they are crucial during crises and in shaping company culture. Effective Board members resist micromanaging, focusing on strategic issues instead. Building relationships within and beyond the boardroom enhances understanding and influence. Jauch emphasizes that committed, flexible, and collaborative Boards, especially during critical times, best support companies and stakeholders.
