Toward a Value Creating Board – McKinsey 2015 Survey

Directors say they dedicate more time now to their board duties than ever before, but few respondents rate their boards as effective. Directors on striving boards commit much more time to their work than others do: on average, they spend 41 days per year on board duties. The complacent-board members spend only 28 days per year—even less time than directors on ineffective boards, who report spending 32 days on board work.
