Ideally, an outside director will have some experience in the industry, either in a hands-on management capacity or by serving on trade association councils or other boards of directors. They should also share the general business philosophy of expanded employee ownership through ESOPs. The process of choosing an outside director should mirror the hiring of a CEO or other senior manager.
Start by creating a profile of the ideal candidate. Outside directors can help you run the business more judiciously and effectively, including enhancing the value of shares for ESOP participants and shareholders who still retain stock outside of the ESOP.
The different perspectives from outside directors may also open the door to new directions and opportunities for the company. Even if the ESOP trustee does not require adding an outside director, it could be a very good move for the long-term health of the business.
