PRESIDENT & BOARD MEMBER
PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION
“I don't think our Board has had a more meaningful and impactful session over the past year, than we did with 3Peak today. Grateful to have had you believe in our work, and for your leadership!
What a team! How can I make it so we work together all the time?”
CHALLENGES FOR BOARDS
DURING BUSINESS SCALING
Based on our work with Boards, we have identified the 5 most common challenges that can lead to Board failure.
-
No shared vision or clear priorities, short-term thinking (e.g., profit focus), reactive rather than strategic decision-making.
-
Unclear governance roles, murky decision-making authority, ineffective Board processes.
-
Board meddles in operations, Board undermines or threatens the CEO, or CEO fails to establish boundaries.
-
Conflicts around authority, behind-the-scenes maneuvering (e.g., favoritism, manipulation, backstabbing).
-
Fear-driven decisions, people-pleasing, avoiding confrontation, unhealthy personal relationships, and lack of self-reflection.
Our Process
To ensure Board success, we work with individuals to establish the following pillars:
1 - UNIFIED VISION
Reconnect Board to shared purpose, unified direction and long-term priorities.
Re-evaluate ownership & incentive structures to optimize Board / CEO relationship.
2 - EFFECTIVE GOVERNANCE
Redefine Board roles, clarify boundaries, install operating rhythm.
Create rules of engagement to reduce confusion and power struggles.
3 - SUSTAINABLE STEWARDSHIP
Shift from fear & reactivity to grounded & intentional.
Address invisible dynamics and friction with self-awareness and EQ.
Establish transparent communication between Board / CEO.
