Ade Asefeso MCIPS MBA Published His New Book How to Become a Corporate Board Member

LONDON - July 20, 2015 - PRLog -- Why How to Become a Corporate Board Member?

That's the question that Ade Asefeso answers in his new book "How to Become a Corporate Board Member"

Ade said. Are you looking to amplify your career path? Perhaps you are looking for new business. Perhaps you just want to give back to your great city or country. No matter the reason, There are organisations looking for great leaders and fresh faces to help guide their business to success. Board position opportunities are out there and you will find out in this book why you should consider searching."

Ade continued by saying. "Service on a Board of Directors can provide and fine-tune invaluable professional development skills that can advance your professional career, such as public speaking, networking and leadership experience. It also provides exposure to other disciplines that you may not encounter in your day job, such as financial reporting, strategic planning, or market analyses, to name a few."

Ade also added by saying "Many professionals view board service as a rewarding way to share their skill sets and talents with non-profits that serve a particular mission that they feel passionately about. You might follow or contribute to a charity that serves local residents in your community, or maybe you have a cause that is close to your heart. Your help and guidance will only help that charity or foundation raise further funds toward your favourite causes."

Ade also said that "Working on boards gives executives unique access to business leaders across the region and provides the opportunity to demonstrate professional value through meaningful participation in board meetings. As a result, you might secure several new business leads and/or networking opportunities that will help further your current career.

Enjoying gains in your career as a benefit of a board appointment is not something you should feel guilty about, even if you are working in the non-profit sector. In fact, most professionals will tell you they are serving on a board as part of their company business development efforts. That does not meant they won't meet their fiduciary duties as a board member. You have to put in the work to reap the benefits, so just remain an active steward on behalf of the organization, and any and all results are justified. That being said, business development should not be your only reason for joining the board."

Ade added by saying "Unlike leveraging board service for business development, supplementing income should come with a flashing caution sign. Paid board service probably won't be your golden ticket to retirement. Although it is true that public companies (and many private ones too) provide compensation for service on their board of directors, you should not expect that you will automatically find a position that puts you in a higher tax bracket.

Companies that compensate board members, either a board of directors or professional advisory board, are seeking highly qualified individuals who have particular experiences, skills sets and background that meet the needs of the company. This is not to say that you may not possess these skills, but you should approach the position with a realistic appreciation of the fact that there are a limited number of highly sought after paid board seats available each year.

For instance, a young professional 6 years into their career is unlikely to be appointed to a public company board seat receiving more than $250k in annual compensation and stock options."

Ade concluded by saying "The biggest takeaway about looking for a board position. Be realistic and be true to yourself and the organization. If you take your service seriously and act in the best interests of the corporation, you will be a successful board member, and you will play an important part in improving the overall level of corporate governance that exists in your city or country's corporate community and beyond."
