How I Evaluate a Board Mandate

Most board mandates fail the first honest filter: would I take the call from this chair every quarter for three years?

What I evaluate

Quality and seriousness of the chair
Genuine influence over capital, strategy, and CEO succession
Real risk of failure that operator experience can reduce
Personal capacity to contribute meaningfully, not symbolically
