Are you looking for a new independent non-executive director? Or is this the first time you have decided to appoint an independent director for your business?
Whether as part of our ongoing service of guiding your board or as a once off engagement, speak to us about ensuring you appoint great directors.
Appointing a director is relatively easy. Appointing great directors who are going to support you to have a high-performance board is much more difficult. A great appointment process requires a consideration of assessment, service, review and appointment. If this process is conducted effectively, the assessment stage can also provide the ‘due diligence’ any great director is going to want to see and consider.
Using a combination of our methodology, recognized personality profiling and market reach, we will source and appoint great directors for your board.

What does it take to appoint a high-performance director?
Through understanding an individual’s commercial astuteness, to testing their natural energy (see Contribution Compass) and ensuring their governance knowledge, we make sure the right people are appointed to the team.
To ensure we appoint directors who are going to add value to the company and its shareholders and other stakeholders, we begin the process with a high-performance board assessment. To appoint the right people we must understand why the company wants a board and what the board is going to need to achieve. Where a board already exists we want to know what is working and how this next appointment will increase the value of the board to the company.
Finding the right directors is not an easy process. It is a combination of selecting directors from the group of accredited Sirdar Director and advertising the appointment that enables us to seek out the right individual for the role. Rigorous vetting of candidates, training where required and support during their due diligence of your company is all part of the process.

The appointment of directors requires careful consideration. On the one hand, shareholder-managers need to select their non-executive directors wearing their shareholder hat and accept the new authority of their board over the business as part of the governance process. On the other hand, shareholder-managers may also have to consider whether all shareholders should also be directors of the company, if they are represented at all. The direct connection between holding shares and the right to board membership is faulty logic believed by SME shareholders who are not schooled in the governance process.
