Lots of good sounding stuff I wouldn’t think of. Maybe ways to keep down drifting off into chaos, letting some disgruntled board member start to cause trouble, keep the discussion on track, e.g., no arguing about the free pizza and soda M-F after 7 PM.

I’d likely implicitly assume that everyone was on board to make the company successful, but the more I learn about human nature the more I realize that any such unanimity is likely less common than hen’s teeth, and, instead, too many people can just start causing destructive trouble for no more reason than they can.

So, it appears that generally the BoD is a severe danger to anything good for the company, a real chuckhole in the road, something to watch out for, avoid, defend against, etc. So, in defense, have an agenda with harmless items, use the agenda to keep out everything else, use up the time, stay in control, avoid anything that might be controversial or need actual data, explanation, or thought, and then adjourn and let the company continue for another quarter.

The Board Meeting Agenda is where it all starts for the board meeting. It should be complete, designate the presenters, budget time, and be a tool to ensure board meetings are crisp and effective.

An exemplar is included. Shop talk.
