Reporting to the board as an engineering leader: Secrets to success

How to present to the board
May 30, 2022

Presenting to the board can be an intimidating experience.

It’s often the case that I see the executive teams prepare their board presentations in silos. Each leader puts together some slides and presents to the board their narrative. Like a golf group (as described in The Advantage by Patrick Lencioni), each player tallies their score and presents how well (or maybe not so well) they played.

This is the most common method, but I prefer a different way: the collective narrative. Like a basketball team, the executive team presents as one unit, they focus on what they want to achieve and the results they deliver toward The Goal.
