The Board and Leadership Lab LLC
Advancing Board and Leadership Excellence
ABOUT US
We're on a mission to build high-performing boards and leaders.
In today's complex environment, effective leadership calls for more than vision alone - it requires skill, experience, and emotional intelligence to guide, inspire and align others around common goals. We partner with boards and executives to develop these capabilities and embed the practices that drive lasting results.
Our Approach

Grounded in science - As organizational psychologists, we draw on the latest advancements in social science research to help you keep pace with the changing environment.
-
Tailored to you - Every board and organization is different, so we take time to understand your objectives, values, challenges, as well as other important contextual factors that make you unique.
-
Actionable Strategies - We uncover hidden factors that drive or hinder your ability to take meaningful action.

Why it Matters
High performing boards and leaders don't just respond to change - they shape it. We help boards and leaders architect better long-term choices and enhance decision-making to navigate challenges with confidence.

OUR CAPABILITIES
EMPOWERING HIGH PERFORMING BOARDS
Balancing near term priorities with long-term value creation is one of the board's greatest responsibilities - and a hallmark of high performance. We provide boards with the insights, tools, and strategies to align and prioritize board's strategic and fiduciary oversight to areas of greatest impact.
DEVELOPING HIGH PERFORMING LEADERS
The demands of leadership have never been greater. Today's leaders must manage complex teams and deliver results in fast-changing environments. We pinpoint the capabilities that matter most in driving success in your organization, and partner with leaders to cultivate the skills and qualities needed to create lasting value.
CEO EVALUATION & SUCCESSION PLANNING
With CEO turnover on the rise*, boards face growing pressure to prepare for leadership change. This means ensuring succession plans are realistic, transitions are carefully managed, and boards and CEOs are aligned on any performance expectations.
We work in close partnership with boards and CEOs to create a shared understanding of these critical processes and develop clear protocols that provide the right safeguards and position CEOs to not only succeed but to thrive.
