Good morning,
For many board members, an end-of-year holiday break can’t come soon enough.
“Exhaustion” is the word that Dan Kaplan, senior client partner for the CHRO practice at Korn Ferry, who also advises boards, says he’s hearing “everywhere.” Where once it was mostly senior leadership teams who remarked that work had become an endless marathon, it’s now corporate directors who are just as likely to feel strained. Board members say that meetings are longer, the prep work is heavier, and business calls between meetings are more frequent.
