The Effective Advisory Board Member

The Discipline of the Seat

In-house, for your board or team

What it covers

The advisory seat as a job rather than a status: counsel distinguished from opinion, the six-part Member's Discipline, conflicts and confidentiality, and earning reappointment on contribution.

What you leave with

The Member's Brief: a one-page skeleton across the six disciplines, each stated or marked open with a named counterpart, plus a dated next step.

Learning outcomes

  • Distinguish counsel from opinion on a live example, with limits stated.
  • Apply the Member's Test and defend a kept, slipping or crossed finding.
  • Identify member defects and name the question that exposes each.

Who it is for

Sitting and prospective members of family-business advisory boards, C-suite executives, directors and appointing principals.
