Board Leadership and Governance through COVID-19
Without a doubt, the Covid-19 pandemic is affecting organisations. So, in these unsettling times, what should board members be focusing on and how should organisational leadership respond to the crisis as it unfolds, and prepare for the “New normal”? Not many boards of directors’ public or private sector had a playbook for managing the magnitude of the CIVID 19 crisis, even fewer have a clear perspective on when and how their organisation’s will emerge from the situation the coronavirus pandemic has forced them to enter. Board members, CEOs and leaders of businesses have a crucial role to play in helping the world get through the COVID 19 crisis, and the decisions they are taking today. The board acts as the ultimate stewardship body of the organisation both guiding and supporting management in decisions around the fight for survival but also ensuring the organisation positions itself to emerge from the crisis stronger and more resilient. What is essential is board discipline, a cool head, detachment and good judgment under their guidance and leadership. For boards of directors, a good response is likely to be rooted in a deep understanding of the role of the board— knowing when to step in and when not to, and how and when to engage in external activity—such as communicating with stakeholders, regulators, and others.
