Shownotes
Today is one of the sessions with just me, and I wanted to reflect on a conversation we had at one of the accelerator groups recently.
As many of you know, I host a program called Take on Board Accelerator. Each month, a group of board directors comes together, and we pull apart a challenge.
We share achievements and resources on the topic, and then somebody brings a challenge to the table. Now, I am not going to go into all the details of the challenge that was brought to the table; however, I did think I would just touch on some takeaways and resources on the topic because it was super useful for the people in the room, and I reckon it’ll be super useful for you.
So the topic for this month was navigating the impact of kindness and niceness on boardroom effectiveness and decision-making.
