Board Culture CPR

Long ago, in a land far away, there was a corporate board with members alive with passion, respected by their peers, easily engaging with senior management, and receiving accolades from general staff. Meetings started and ended on time, agendas were adhered to, and meeting minutes were accurate. The ambiance from the top down was warm and colleagial, and whistleblowers were praised and rewarded for their candor. Does this sound like fantasy land?
