Boardroom hustle #33
Matt Fullbrook: Redefining board governance & decision-making
Joining us this week on Boardroom Hustle is Matt Fullbrook, a governance consultant and board effectiveness researcher.
Matt helps boards maximise their effectiveness by developing and implementing high quality governance processes, policies and structures. With 20 years experience in the study of corporate governance and board advisory, Matt is undeniably knowledgeable.
You may remember Matt from our recent Decision84 event (June 2020), where he participated in the Day 4 roundtable discussions around the question: how should boards influence the world?
Or listen on iTunes and Android.
This episode is equally insightful, with Matt and Paul discussing things like:
Is there a better way to define board governance?
Why we shouldn’t consider boards ‘one size fits all’
The pitfalls of a boardroom routine, and why we shouldn’t do something just because it’s the way we’ve always done it
The major benefits of a racially diverse boardroom
Why, even if you’re an intelligent board member, you might not make a good chairperson
Is the current 200-year-old board model still valid? What’s the alternative?
How does a board choose who to recruit? What should they consider during recruitment?
Why we should aim to have high EQ
The importance of being willing to change our minds as we learn new information
Should boards have their own purpose statement to use as a guide in decision making?
