David Tate‘s insight:

Directors being held to ever higher, increasing and diverse responsibilities and expectations, but what is the standard of care, i.e., what levels of expertise, time commitment and diligence?  Directors are responsible for oversight, not running the day-to-day operations or parts of operations.
