3Effective Board Leadership Workshop

TAKE YOUR LEADERSHIP SKILLS TO THE NEXT LEVEL

You know you’re good at what you do. And yet, as a board member, have you ever been frustrated at not being able to get your message across effectively in the boardroom? Have you ever walked out of a board meeting with the sense that the board could be bringing far greater value?

Don’t worry. You’re not alone. It’s the reason this workshop was created. Many other directors have felt the same way at one time or another.

This is the second annual workshop sponsored by international and regional corporate governance leaders including IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, Instituto Ecuatoriano de Gobernanza Corporativa (IEGC), and the Network of Institutes of Corporate Governance of Latin America (IGCLA). The Effective Board Leadership Workshop makes use of best-in-class knowledge in a hands-on and practical learning approach that will build on your own natural leadership skills. You’ll walk out of the program empowered and prepared for more effective handling of the complex and often unpredictable situations boards face. You’ll have practical tools you can use for immediate results, with positive impacts on your board and its work.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

Starting with the early stages of nomination and onboarding to establishing credibility and influencing critical decision-making, through to ensuring the company is in a stronger position when you decide to move on to new challenges and exit the board, the workshop walks you through the entire board director lifecycle.

Along the way, you’ll gain key insights into the human aspects of board directorships — the relationships, the power dynamics, and the interplay among different personalities.

You’ll learn about the changes in these dynamics that take place over time. Armed with these skills and insights, you will be better prepared for your own directorship journey.

You will benefit from best-in-class materials, a top-notch faculty, engaging and practical exercises aimed at honing leadership skills, and enriching opportunities for networking and exchanging experiences with peers from across Latin America and the Caribbean.

PROGRAM CONTENT

The primary text for the course is the IFC publication “The Incredible Adventures of Carla: Practical Guide for Nominee Directors,” written by Ulrich Steger and Christoph Nedopil. Written in novelistic style, it describes the board leadership learning journey of Carla, a nominee director. Although the main character is fictional, the events depicted in the book are based on 20 years of real-life IFC experiences in building the boards of its investee companies around the world.

Program focus is on the key challenges and dilemmas faced by boards of emerging market companies today. Using the text as a guide, substantive, content-rich sessions are followed by practical skills modules. Emphasis is on successful behavioral approaches that build on your own individual leadership style to address the issues raised during the content sessions. The skills modules make use of the techniques and methodology of the globally respected Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution.

At the conclusion of the workshop, you’ll receive a certificate of completion. You’ll also have the opportunity to register in IFC’s global database of suitable board candidates, from which directors of IFC’s emerging market company boards are selected.
