A question that I am frequently asked by business owners and leaders is how do I put a board together? Of course, I have some recommendations about this; however, sometimes it pays to have an expert advisor – someone who literally wrote the book on it – to give a considered and comprehensive answer to this question. And this is a conversation not only for business owners looking to build their board; it's also beneficial for aspiring board members to understand so that they can better position themselves for these opportunities. The book I am referring to is 'Build Your Board, Build Your Business' and the author is Barbara Clarke. Barbara and I discuss when it's time to start putting your board together; what are the motivations behind building a board; How to know when you need: A board or board member? An advisor? An employee? Or Something else? What the difference is between an advisory board and a governance board and when you need one or the other. Barbara also shares her ANCHOR model for building your board. We close the conversation focusing on people who want to get on boards and how they position themselves for the boards that these business owners are wanting to build.
