GM Chamber: Key things you need to know about becoming a Non-Executive Director

If you have thought about becoming a Non-Executive Director you will probably have a lot of questions such as:

• What’s it really like?
• What does the role really entail – time, legal responsibility, authority, who do I report to? What is my real contribution?
• Do I need any specific qualifications?
• How do I cope with being a part time team member?
• How do I blend objectivity and challenge with being a supportive member of the team?
• Why would anybody hire me?
• What’s the difference between this role and consultancy?
• Can I earn a living being a Non-Executive Director?
• How do I find these roles?

If a business has a genuine ambition to develop itself, Non-Executive Directors can offer that organisation objective insight, support, constructive criticism, connectivity and high quality skills. In turn that can provide the Non-Executive with really satisfying challenge and reward both personally and professionally
