It is a new financial year in Australia. Directors are waiting for the avalanche of financial reports that they need to verify and issue within a tight timeframe. Not every director is an expert in financial reporting or analysis. But every director is p…lnkd.in/gvNnyetA


Well, what a great insight - all those 'hard slog' long meetings are counter productive! I have always been a fan of the 'comfort break': Five, or even three, minutes to stand, get coffee, visit the bathroom or just look out of the window. Now it seems…lnkd.in/gAHVSBB9


Whatever you do, you need a plan. You need to focus your board agendas so that you make the right decisions in the right way and at the right time,. You need to get your advisors in place. And you need to stay committed. It sounds so easy..... #boardslnkd.in/gBvPP5s7


Some useful questions that you may wish to consider asking in your boardrooms. lnkd.in/g8t_bjAM


I read this in @TheAdamJEpstein's recent post and it really struck home. People sometimes make governance so much more difficult than it needs to be. Always make it easy and valuable so that it gets implemented. A clear first step and a measurable payo…lnkd.in/gnHzpmva


If you have entered into a contract, read it. If you are thinking about entering into a contract, read it. If you are thinking about enducing someone to enter into a contract, give them a copy to read. I'm always surprised when directors tell me that the…lnkd.in/gjGGFJ9y


I'm working with a few boards who are changing their governance models. The basic designs of our corporate governance models are ancient - they can be recognised in companies hindreds of years old. Don't be afraid to consider and try new models if they…lnkd.in/g7UxzDNn


Are your board agendas ‘action-oriented’? Or are they turgid and full of backward-looking historical data? What can you do to make your agendas more strategic and forward-looking? - use an annual agenda that sets out what each meeting contributes to the…lnkd.in/gGbQWz6h


Sleeping directors? A participant in a recent webinar asked me what to do about a couple of directors who nodded off during board meetings. This is terrible behaviour and clearly doesn't meet an acceptable standard of diligent care. The easy answer is…lnkd.in/gNuPsTA6


Directors need to think at a different level to that they grew accustomed to as managers. After all, you don't have to be Einstein t know that you can't solve problems with the same level thinking that created them! Hope you enjoy this short video. #…lnkd.in/gsbXPuXY


Tears in the boardroom? When I first started on boards there was a whole lot of the 'stiff upper lip' attitude: emotion was not encouraged and any display of feelings was a weakness. Fortunately we now have a more holistic view of how humans perform. We…lnkd.in/gVFjJrif


Shareholders vs Directors In the board world, shareholders and directors should play distinct roles. While shareholders are essentially investors expecting returns on their capital, it's crucial to remember that directors bear legal liabilities for compa…lnkd.in/gmzk_mnm


Boards usually meet to take decisions; elther online or in person or a hybrid of both. So, what happens when you simply can't get together for a meeting but you really need to make a decision? You use a circular resolution. These are a very handy tool…lnkd.in/gBxX7RxJ


How do you choose a mentor? Obviously, we are all unique, and will all have personal preferences. These must be considered as well as the technical aspects or qualifications of a prospective mentor before making a choice and committing to a relationship…lnkd.in/gVGu2zrw


What do conference participants say about me? This one made me very happy: "Wonderful presenting style and perfect for the last session of the day. Insightful and great points on the one topic we were feeling unsure about it. Feeling much better already…lnkd.in/gpMSnNpE


The financial year is coming to an end for some boards, it is midway through the year for others. This is a great time to reflect, reconsider, renew and reinvigorate. So -  How do you feel? What have been the salient issues for boards to consider? What…lnkd.in/gqiibNTg


This is a trait that all board members need to develop. It's not a character or personality issue, It's discipline and practice. lnkd.in/gdnq2T-m
