Navigating Board Relationships

When dealing with board members, it is crucial for founders to recognize the importance of context in communication. Board members often juggle multiple responsibilities across various companies, leading to potential misunderstandings regarding a company's performance metrics. To address any misunderstandings, founders should take a step back, assess their communication, and reframe the questions being asked in terms of their priorities. By focusing on key issues like growth rate and net burn, and inviting board members to discuss these topics further during meetings, founders can cultivate a more constructive dialogue and mitigate distractions.
