My experience is that there are two main problems with lack of board meetings in this sector. The first is that a great number of small & medium companies simply don't have a coherent strategy & don't know how to establish one or monitor its progress. <br />The other main reason stems from a belief that all meetings are either bad or must be short. The purpose of a meeting is to solve problems and reach decisions; the time it takes to achieve these things is very much of secondary importance to the quality of the decisions reached.<br />Too many owners are in the Johari box where they don't know what they don't know.<br />Regards<br />Tony Armstrong<br />http://theretrospectiveentrepreneur.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677167860670303930.post-30556423179478866072011-06-12T19:04:07.365+01:002011-06-12T19:04:07.365+01:00You only need two people to hold a board meeting a...You only need two people to hold a board meeting and board meetings can be attended by anyone as long as they are co-opted by a director. You may not be aware but it is a legal requirement for ALL limited companies to hold at least 1 board meeting a year.laurence@exigent-uk.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12963647054834469291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677167860670303930.post-417715867758798202011-06-02T20:59:57.410+01:002011-06-02T20:59:57.410+01:00Hmmm I don't know many SME's with enough b...Hmmm I don't know many SME's with enough board members to even have a board meeting !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
