As your career reaches the highest levels, it’s only natural to start thinking beyond day-to-day management—and toward roles in governance. Board service is a meaningful next step, but it calls for a different strategy. Positioning yourself for a Board seat isn’t the same as positioning yourself for the C-suite. The story you tell, the value you highlight, and the way you’re introduced to decision-makers all shift.
There are Board documents that are expected when applying to join a Board. They differ from a standard executive resume and CV. A resume and CV for a job guides you down a path of sounding like management and less like leadership or governance material.
Failure to have the right form of self-packaging documents indicates lack of awareness of what’s expected and can sink a candidacy before it starts.
Listen to Mark A. Pfister, ExecuNet’s Board expert, explain in greater detail what’s needed to package yourself to seek a Board position.
