thumbnail of Brief 3

This third Daring to Lead brief examines the paradoxical nature of board and executive director relationships. Key findings include:

  • While executive directors tended to give boards relatively high marks when asked about overall performance, their responses to more speci­fic questions often contradicted that assessment—and suggest that boards are neglecting critical governance responsibilities.
  • Despite these board performance challenges, most executive directors are not spending a signi­ficant percentage of their time working with and supporting their boards.
  • Executive directors who spend more time working with their boards demonstrate higher satisfaction with board performance.

Satisfaction with Compensation

The majority of executives earn between $50,000 and $75,000 annually. Only 8% of executives earn over $150,000. Over two-thirds (68%) of executive directors are satisfied with their compensation; 27% report being very satisfied and 41% report being somewhat satisfied. Ten percent (10%) are not at all satisfied and another 18% report being a little satisfied.
