Member Board of Directors in Finance (non-banking)3 years ago

I wouldn't change anything, I'm having so much fun. I've been a CIO for over 12 years and at the end of 2011, I changed my career to serve on boards. I now do advisory work and invest with an early stage VC firm. It's the perfect combination of still being involved in the industry by adding value to portfolio companies, while still having a good work-life balance. It’s much better than when I had around-the-clock operational responsibilities.

I'm probably in a similar boat. I would like to have more developers so I can move a bit faster, but sometimes that slowness allows you to see where you're navigating.

We are in the middle of redesigning our leadership development program and are having a debate about if the cohorts should be made up the same teams (So a VP and their Directors, Directors and their managers, etc) or if the cohorts should be cross-functional with limited consideration given to reporting relationships. The cohorts would run 6-18 months depending on the track.

Has anyone done cohort-based learning where a leadership team did it all together? What were pros and cons vs a more random cross-functional cohort?
