Boardroom hustle #40
Decision84 Roundtable 2
Welcome to episode 40 of the podcast! As promised last week, this episode is focused on the second roundtable discussion from our Decision84 virtual summit held in June 2020.
The discussion centres around one of the strong themes of the conference; the need for global systemic change.
The lineup of guest speakers is just as impressive as Roundtable #1, and features:
Beverly Cole
Cassandra Kelly
John Harte
Kirsten (KP) Patterson
Dr. Marianne Cooper
Voyt Krzychylkiewicz
Again, hosted by our very own Paul Smith
Our panel field spectacular questions from attendees on that need for global change, as well as the nature of modern governance and whether current directors are actually fit for duty or not.
Or listen on iTunes and Android.
Some of those questions include:
How do you deal with those directors who are not aware of how their behaviour is impacting the board (and company) negatively?
Do we need to redefine ‘fiduciary duty’ in order to free boards up and pay attention to stakeholders rather than just shareholders?
When does a boardroom dissenter (also referred to here as an ‘eyeroller’) stop being a person that adds diversity to the group and begins to be a problem instead?
The discussion also focuses on:
The two main ‘currencies’ for any board, and what happens if they are lacking them
Some expert advice on how to make your governance career long-lasting, considering how overloaded boards and directors are
How can we help heal boards that have lost their focus?
There is a wealth of information within this session. It is a must-listen.
