RHR’s Orla Leonard to Address NYSE Governance Services’ Annual Boardroom Summit


CHICAGO, Sept. 27, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orla Leonard, MSc, CPsychol of RHR International, the premier firm in the development of top management leadership, will address the NYSE Governance Services’ Annual Boardroom Summit on Thursday, October 6. Her topic is “Sustaining Boardroom Performance: How Great Boards Stay Great.” In the session, she will present findings from RHR‘s research program on how great boards continually renew themselves to sustain a high level of governance contribution. More than 620 respondents representing 900 boards provided insight on how great boards stay great—a continuation of the research done on this topic in 2014.

“A constant and open dialogue is key to board effectiveness,” says Leonard. “Great boards make an effort to remain aligned with their company’s strategy as it evolves. Yearly evaluation of where the company is headed in the short- and longer term allows boards to define the skillsets they need to get there.”

Her duties include spearheading research, coordinating efforts with clients, and supporting consultants in the field.
