Abstract

Chapter 6 describes nuances in the work of board chairs in Sweden, a country with a high level of ownership concentration and strong traditions of consensus-based decision-making. Board chairs work towards long-term value creation, but also steer their boards and companies towards socially important issues, including sustainability, equality and employees’ health and well-being. Chairing board meetings is only the tip of the iceberg for leaders of Swedish boards, who do most of their work outside of the boardroom. They actively engage with owners and other stakeholders, serve as coaches for their boards and CEOs and constantly learn themselves.
