Your board brings experience, oversight, and accountability. You still have a responsibility to think, question, and lead.
In this episode, I discuss a mentee who presented an acquisition opportunity with more than $2 million in revenue and a reported 50% EBITDA margin. It missed his board's requirement for 5% annual revenue growth. Was that enough to dismiss it, or did the opportunity deserve further investigation?
I also share why another VIP member declined to appoint a chairman candidate who wanted to pursue large acquisitions before the mentee was ready.
Learn why acquisition criteria need a clear purpose, how to challenge assumptions with evidence, and how to distinguish healthy board disagreement from a fundamental conflict over strategy.
Respect your board's experience. Bring the facts. Make your case. You cannot outsource your judgment.
