Excerpt from survey:

How are boards doing?

Investors are generally satisfied with how boards are doing their jobs, particularly with respect to overseeing regulatory compliance and assessing the company’s strategy. More than 80% of investors say they’re satisfied with how boards are overseeing risk and maintaining their own expertise. And about two-thirds of investors are satisfied with boards’ assessment of management performance. But investors also think there is room for improvement. For example, more than 60% of investors are dissatisfied with how boards assess director performance, and nearly half want to see improvement in how boards engage with shareholders. Over 40% of investors want boards to improve how they incentivize management through performance metrics.
