HOW TO WORK WITH YOUR BOARD. A good board can be invaluable for a growing company. Key rules are: no surprises, no games and politics, timely and good communication, and always listen carefully. All boards have fiscal responsibilities to shareholders, and surprises are universally unpopular. Stuff happens, but be sure to communicate it rapidly and completely. Politics almost always results in a divided and unhappy board. And if you are unable or unwilling to listen to the board, either you are the wrong person or you picked a lousy board. It is your job to make the board relationship work.
