Boards That Steward

Boards steward by protecting horizon integrity and what must endure.

A board’s most consequential work is deciding which time horizon the organization is allowed to forget.

Oversight is not stewardship. Stewardship means holding the long horizon steady while management works the near one — protecting the conditions under which capability keeps compounding.

Volume Six closes the series with governance: how boards protect horizon integrity, steward succession and capability, and name what must endure regardless of who is in the chair.
