If brilliance were a prerequisite for becoming the member of a Board of Directors, there would be an awful lot of empty seats.

It seems as though experience and connections should also play as important a role as IQ.

The leadership in demanding shareholder friendly Boards has to come from those institutional investors. How to get them to act in our behalf eludes me.

As an investor, I have to look at things like ESO levels, dilution, dividend policy, executive compensation levels, etc. for the key to where any particular company or its board have their priorities.
