The best leaders seek self improvement. The leadership and board evaluation process is ultimately a self-evaluative one. The Center for Board Excellence is a third party board and leadership evaluation administrator whose Leadership and Board Excellence Assessment™ carries the weight of a financial assessment.

Evaluations are administered online with complete anonymity, saving boards valuable time and money, while quickly and efficiently analyzing and improving board and director performance.

When CBE is engaged to help you in the self-assessment process, we will work closely with someone in your organization that you have selected as a trusted leader to spearhead the evaluative process, such as an independent lead director, a committee chairperson or General Counsel. Boards are, first and foremost, responsible for good governance.

As an independent administrator, CBE is an invaluable resource, but the board must take the lead. Investors, analysts, regulators and the public look to boards and their major committees to be accountable and transparent in their activities. CBE can help, but it must be the priority of the designated leader to prepare the board for the assessment and verify its members know how the information gathered will be customized to meet the board’s specific needs and objectives.
