How to manage Board expectations really well: So you just finished 2023 and now you are getting ready to present your performance to your board. 1. Avoid surprises. One of the best strategies for a CFO or founder entering a board meeting is to make sure you avoid surprises. Ensure that your investors have all the relevant information and that everyone is on the same page and ready to have a meaningful conversation. 2. Pre-discussion and preparation. Before board meetings, I always share the agenda in advance. Ask board members to review these and provide questions beforehand. This helps anchor the conversations on what matters and provides you with the leverage you need to get the most out of that time with your board. 3. Leverage your board. Remember, your investors are there to multiply, not just to evaluate. Approach them as a valuable resources for guidance and feedback P.S.
