Why it works
'Highlights and lowlights — honest assessment' is the critical framing for a board presentation; boards that receive only good news lose trust in management more quickly than those who receive honest reporting of challenges.
Watch out for
Risks: Annual reviews shared with board or investors have legal implications. Control: Legal counsel reviews before presentation to board; any forward-looking statements must include appropriate caveats.
