David Bedell - Managing a Board of Directors

David Bedell, CFO of HireVue chats with me about thoughts and considerations when interacting and managing your relationship with the board of directors, including discussions on reasons why CFOs get fired by the board. We divide our discussion into two parts. First, we talk about items to consider when evaluating the board of directors at a company you are considering joining as CFO. What are the dynamics to consider with different board structures? Second, we chat about thought processes around managing your relationship with the board. How should you communicate with the board? What will get you fired as CFO from a company? What are the top Dos and don'ts when managing the board? How to be intentional about your relationship with the board.
