So, I admit it. I’ve attended a board meeting without feeling fully prepared. And not just once. I’ve done it many times when serving in many different roles: as a board member, as an entrepreneur and executive responsible for managing my own board, and as a staff member tasked with supporting the work of the board. To be sure, there are widely varying degrees of preparedness; and it is fair to say that one can always be better prepared. So, it’s quite rare that I feel completely ready for any board meeting. And when I do, it’s usually an indication that I’ve actually allocated far too much valuable time to the task of meeting prep!
