Boards are taking a more active role in overseeing talent, expanding their focus from CEO succession into examining leadership strength across the enterprise. In this episode, TMG’s John Nasr and Eric Shor examine how Directors are partnering more closely with CHROs, connecting people decisions to business strategy, and evolving compensation committees into true “People Committees.” They share how leading Boards are developing structured, forward-looking processes to assess readiness, strengthen succession depth, and link talent planning directly to long-term value creation.
