Are you ready to be
a new director?

Are you a manager who thinks
you should be a director?
Or, are you a director who still
thinks like a manager?

A directorship requires a different
mindset and different relationships
from being a manager.
Many new directors find it difficult
to make the transition.
Especially if they are also
still managers.

Most directors take time to make
the transition.
As a result they do not make their
best contribution to the effectiveness
of the board.
Or they waste time while they adjust
to the new role.
This is often frustrating and stressful
for you and your fellow directors.

Are you ready to make a really
effective contribution to the board?
Are you really at ease in a
boardroom role?
Do you understand the roles and
responsibilities of being an
effective director?
Do you understand how an
effective board works?

Are you able to think
corporately – integrating all
departments, not just your own.
Are you confident to ask
challenging questions?

Becoming a director is an important
threshold in your career.
Maybe itʼs been a major ambition ‒
and it carries important legal
responsibilities
If you are going to do it, you owe
it to yourself and your colleagues
to do it well.

The sooner that you make
the transition;
have a new mindset with more
appropriate relationships;
the sooner you can enjoy making
your best contribution...
...and then the sooner you can
start earning your keep!

There are practical steps you can
take to help you adjust quickly and
effectively to the role of director.
