I am new to being an official board member although I have been involved with large and small company board meetings for years.
Board meetings are not the be all end all that many folks think they are but the board members and their context within the life of a startup is pretty important.
I wanted to approach this with a beginner’s mind and was helpful to read this book and get some new viewpoints on being a board member and get some sense how founder see the board as well.
Of course only experience will come into play for me to become an awesome board member but I am enjoying this book quite a bit.
