What makes for Board effectiveness? Is it the ability to make better decisions that are in the interest of those it owes allegiance to? Is it agility? Transparency? Independence?

Is it a balancing act of all these and much more?

In this episode I'm with Professors Andrew Schipilov and Tim Rowley and we're going to be talking about what makes, in their opinion, a Board effective today.

"Do you want to die in blissful ignorance? Or do you want to know a little bit more about what it's like to not be just truly human, but what it's like to be truly you. We tend to get caught up in the tide of the life that we're leading and as result of that we not only miss certain things about the activity in which we are occupied but we also miss thing about ourselves." Professor Graham Ward explains why self-exploration is crucial for senior leaders if they want to effectively lead other people.
