You’ve gotten the call or email. You are a possible candidate for a corporate board. Very exciting! But now what? What are they going to ask me? What should I ask them? What do I need to do before I talk with them?
They might want to speak with you that day so you need to prepare yourself ahead of time. Here are just a few questions you should ask them:
WHAT IS THE VISION, STRATEGY & PLAN?
– What is the 3 to 5 year plan for the company?
– What is the strategic planning process?
– Is the potential for risk included in the strategic planning?
– Is there a succession plan for the CEO, board and senior staff?
WHY ARE YOU INTERESTED IN ME AS A DIRECTOR?
– Am I being considered because of my skill-set?
– What is the expectation in terms of that and is there anybody else who has that skill-set on the board?
– Am I additive?
