Ep. 77 - How is being a good board chair like being a great dinner host? (With Matt Fullbrook)

Dec 5, 2022

In the last of our series we Matt we talk about one of the most important people in the boardroom...the Chair.

You’ve probably heard the analogy about the board chair being like an orchestra conductor. Matt Fullbrook of Fullbrook Board Effective thinks that’s bunkum. He has a different analogy - and it’s to do with dinner parties. FDI’s Paul riffs with Matt on making board leadership better.

 We workshop:

• Is leadership evolving?
• The conventional understanding of a board chair
• Introducing a new analogy - board chairs as great dinner hosts
• The role of the board in co-creating the right atmos for decision-making
• How to chair better in a virtual environment
• Should we have 2 chairs? 1 for the mechanical stuff, another for the generative stuff?
• The power of practice and play in breaking board norms
