The Board of Directors is responsible for managing every aspect
of the company per its charter document. For that reason, the board
must ask thoughtful and practical
questions to better assess if its business strategy
aligns with the company's end goals or legally specified
purpose.
The board's job is to think of the bigger picture and
respond according to it.
Therefore, keeping the organization's overall vision close
in mind is of utmost importance for each board member.
One must remember that questions are not criticisms or attacks.
They aren't meant to be disrespectful or disparaging. Any
question the board members ask is fostering an opportunity to delve

to make the subsequent decisions. Ideally, any question members of
the board will ask encourage more clarity about the issue at hand
and provoke thoughtful conversations. The board will make the best
decisions when it truly understands
