Boardroom Hustle

We’re back with Part 2 of our latest episode with Erin Essenmacher, the award-winning documentary film writer, director, producer, and former president and chief strategy officer of the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD).  (Haven’t listened to Part 1 yet? We suggest you do that first. Context!) In Part 2, Erin and Paul focus on the big question: should there be agreed standards or even legislation around the required education for directors?  Erin and Paul also dive into: Which mindset is found most often in the boardroom; growth, learner or fixed? How inexperience can be a positive addition to diversity Is it up to companies to educate board members, or the individual directors?  The benefits of working with people from different backgrounds, skills and experiences Do boards have the right controls in place to make sure the diverse voices feel important and can contribute? What does Erin think will change most in the boardroom over the next 20 years?
