Loss Prevention Magazine’s Post

At ghSMART, we've learned that even the most well-functioning boards perform well below their potential. They invest in financial oversight, M&A and risk management but can underinvest in leadership and succession planning. Often, uncomfortable questions aren’t asked soon enough, diversity is not harnessed into diverse ideas and perspective, and they wait too long to establish a disciplined process for succession management. Our Board Effectiveness solution includes a rigorous and objective board of directors assessment and feedback process to build and sustain high-performance — both for individual directors and the board as a whole. We'll help create a purposeful path forward, one aligned with company strategy and aimed at value creation.

Ben Franklin’s proverb… “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” The benefits of preventive leadership are clear; it’s important to recognize the potential costs of inaction. If we fail to anticipate and prepare for challenges, we often find ourselves in reactive mode, scrambling to put out fires rather than confidently guiding our teams. This drains resources and can erode trust and morale within our organization. In contrast, investing in preventive measures—whether it’s time, effort, or resources—is far less costly than dealing with the fallout of unaddressed issues. By prioritizing prevention, we can safeguard our organizations against potential pitfalls and position them for sustained success. Ultimately, the true measure of leadership isn’t just how well one responds to crises but how effectively we prevent them in the first place. How many ounces of prevention are you using today?
