Presidential Assessment

Assessing the president’s path forward.

Presidential assessment provides the occasion for a board to deepen its understanding of the president, of his or her leadership, and of the institution. Assessing a president in order to build stronger performance is a process with three stages: ongoing feedback, annual reviews, and periodic 360 assessment.

AGB advisors enable effective leadership by helping board members and leaders:

Respond strategically to COVID-19 and related financial impacts

Identify steps for ensuring near-term response and survival

Make tough decisions regarding their institution’s long-term prospects

Institutionalize sound risk management and crisis recovery practices

“Instead of viewing crisis as a threat, we should view it as a moment to develop proactive strategies and tools to speed innovation.”

Ken Knueven
